END RESULTS IN PHYSIOLOGICAL BLOCKING OF FLAIL JOINTS

Alberto Inclán M.D.1

1 HAVANA, CUBA

End results, obtained after twelve years of experience with techniques devised for securing physiological blocking of flail joints, are presented. The author's aim is to demonstrate the advantages of these and similar techniques, which are based on physiological restriction of a specific joint motion by alteration of the anatomical position or configuration of the joint surface.

The physiological blocking operations performed at the ankle and knee have shown permanent satisfactory results, classified as either good or excellent, in 85 per cent. of cases for as long as twelve years following operation.

Postoperative infections, ankylosis, or arthritis did not. occur in any of the cases in this series.

Late loss, either partial or complete, of the original blocking occurred in 7.4 per cent. of the cases reviewed.
