Clinic and functional evaluation of total hip and knee prostheses in patients with juvenile chronic arthritis: A 20-year experience

Results of total hip (THP) and knee (TKP) prostheses in patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) followed up in our Service were reviewed. The 40 cases evaluated (34 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and 6 juvenile ankylosing spondylitis) received 71 prostheses (61 hips and 10 knees): 4 out of the...
