We have described the instrumentation and surgical technique of a new total knee prosthesis, the Total-Condylar, designed at the Hospital for Special Surgery (New York) and which we are the first to use in Italy. This prosthesis has evolved from the "sliding" prosthesis and seems to us to constitute a real step forward. The femoro-patellar compartment is completely substituted. The cruciate ligaments are removed, which markedly increases the possibility of correcting even severe deformities. The fixation of the tibial component is improved by the adoption of a short stem. The prosthesis has a certain intrinsic stability on weightbearing. The surgical technique is characterised by bone sections perpendicular to each other by the use of aligning instruments which simplify the operation. Our experience is just beginning (five cases) but our results so far are very encouraging and correspond to those reported in a very much larger series in the United States.
我们已经描述了一种新型全膝关节假体——全髁型假体的器械和手术技术，该假体由纽约特种外科医院设计，我们是意大利首个使用该假体的团队。这种假体是从“滑动”假体发展而来的，在我们看来，它确实向前迈出了一大步。股骨髌骨关节面被完全替换。交叉韧带被切除，这显著增加了矫正甚至严重畸形的可能性。通过采用短柄，胫骨部件的固定得到了改善。该假体在负重时有一定的固有稳定性。手术技术的特点是使用对准器械使骨截面相互垂直，从而简化了手术。我们的经验才刚刚开始（5例），但目前的结果非常令人鼓舞，与美国大量病例系列报道的结果相符。
