Arthroscopic examination showed the concave tibial surface had adapted to the convex femoral surface. Although only exposed eburnate bone was seen on this articulation, meniscus-like tissue was observed around the rim of the concave tibial surface. Histological findings of the femoral surface showed well differentiated lamellar bone and fatty marrow without cartilage, and meniscus-like tissue which had the features of fibrous cartilage. The results of this case report support our observations about the biological significance of this procedure, which, we think, still has a place in arthroplasty of the ankylosis or severely destroyed knee joint, especially in young patients.}, pages = {111--115}, title = {A Case Report of Arthroscopic and Histological Long-Term Evaluation after Resection Interposition Knee Arthroplasty with Chromicized Autogenous Fascia Lata (J-K Membrane)}, volume = {44}, year = {1996} }
