[Use of a tumor prosthesis in the management of complications from a Guepar-type knee prosthesis].

Abstract

In the operative treatment of the knee diseases Guepar prosthesis was used formerly more frequently, presently however only rarely. The frequence of complications and their treatment are many times serious problems. Authors describe one case in which the postoperative supracondylaer fracture necessitated the insertion of a special knee prosthesis.
