Between 1970 and 1983, resection arthroplasty was done as a salvage procedure for twenty-eight knees (twenty-six @entity1 ) with @entity281 after total arthroplasty. Eleven @entity1 had multiarticular @entity309 ; fourteen, @entity571 ; and one, multiarticular @entity1109 . Systemic signs of @entity281 were eliminated in all @entity1 and local signs, in 89 per cent of the @entity1 . After resection arthroplasty alone, fifteen @entity1 were able to walk independently. Six @entity1 with monoarticular @entity571 who found the resection arthroplasty to be unacceptable had a successful secondary arthrodesis. In three @entity1 a spontaneous bone fusion developed after the resection, with the knee in a good position. Two @entity1 who were unable to walk before the resection arthroplasty were still unable to do so postoperatively. Neither the @entity1 's disease nor the type of prosthesis that had been used was a reliable predictor of success of the resection arthroplasty. The @entity1 who had had the most severe disability before the total knee arthroplasty were most likely to be satisfied. @entity1 who had had @entity717 were more likely to find the results of resection arthroplasty to be unsatisfactory.
