| Abstract: | Authors report on their experiments and observations with knee endoprostheses. On reason of the high price of imported prostheses the home production of implantates is urged. They reported in a preliminary paper in 1977 on the insertion of the first knee prosthesis made in Hungary. Since this time in 36 instances have been inserted without complication their titanium-polyamid and stainless steel-polyamid sledge type prostheses (a total of 42 pairs of 32 patients). After 2 years follow up the results can be classified as "very good". A new improved model of knee prosthesis is under elaboration. |
