Abstract

1. The results of twenty-eight "hinge" arthroplasties of the knee are described.

2. Failure was most often due to breaking of the prosthesis.

3. The design of the prosthesis has been modified as a result of experience in cases of mechanical failure.

4. The results suggest that with the use of the modified hinge good results may be obtainable in three out of four cases.
