Biological knee arthroplasty
Keywords:
knee injuries, articular cartilage, transplantation, homologousAbstract
We performed a partial biological knee arthroplasty on a patient with medial unicompartmental arthrosis of the knee due to previous medial meniscectomy. The patient presented a good evolution without signs of graft rejection; however, she developed arthrofibrosis and delayed consolidation in the tibia. She was reoperated, and had a decrease in the total range of motion of the knee and pain on great efforts. This case showed a new technical possibility for cartilage replacement, feasible in our country. However, a greater number of cases with a longer follow-up is necessary in order to verify the real benefit of this technique.
