Abstract

Today, the performance of a total knee arthroplasty is a common procedure. One of the greatest challenges are the bone defects in the tibia articular surface of the tibia as a result of an angular deformities in varus o valgus. One option to deal with this problem is the reconstruction of bone defects using autogenous bone graft. It is performed in the present study a review of  the possibilities of reconstruction of this bone defects and a patient is presented with a diagnosis of tributary  tricompartmental gonarthrosis of prosthetic replacement with  tibial bone defect to which the Windsor´s technique et al. was performed. (reconstruction with graft taken from the resected distal femoral condyles) with satisfactory results. This alternative ensures a placement of a stable prosthesis.
