โœฆ Synopsis


Reconstruction of a resected femoral or tibial condyle using the ipsilateral patella as an autogenous graft is better than conventional resection arthrodesis. Seven cases are reported with a follow up of from 3 to 6 years. Consolidation of the graft and fair stability were obtained. The range of movement was more than 90 ยฐ in 5 out of the 7 cases.

R~sum~. La reconstruction du genou utilisant la rotule homo-latdrale apr&s risection d'un condyle fimoral ou tibial est une bonne alternative & l'arthrodkse conventionnelle. Cela permet une bonne reconstitution de la surface articulaire et donne une fonction du genou satisfaisante dans la majoritd des cas. Huit cas de reconstruction par la rotule sont pr&ent&, 7 ayant un suivi de 3 & 6 ans. Une bonne consolidation de la greffe, que la rotule soit libre, ou pddiculde, et une bonne stabilit~ de l'articulation fut obtenue. L'amplitude do mouvement est de 90 ยฐ ou plus dans 71,4% des cas.

The authors describe two patients with knee symptoms. In both cases the correct diagnosis was established late. One patient had a large cyst of the lateral meniscus, while the other had a synovial sarcoma. Aetiology, symptomatology, methods of investigation, therapy and prognosis are discussed, as w
