ABSTRACT
The indications of an arthrodesis of the knee joint have changed and seem to be rare in a century of total arthroplasty. However, even nowadays the arthrodesis of the knee joint is still carried out with good results in postinfectious gonarthrosis, irreparable posttraumatic instability, Charcots knee, Neoplastic destructions in special cases, for patients with a severe painful and deforming arthrosis of any reason, which are too young for an arthroplasty and in a century of arthroplasty for all patients after failure of arthroplasty. Within a period of 11 years from 1969-1980, 105 patients underwent an arthrodesis of the knee joint at BG Unfallklinik Tübingen. Indications and technique are given, the value of an individual postoperative care is pointed out.
