    Abstract:
    On the basis of examination of 58 patients with inveterate damages of bursal and ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint there has been revealed a number of mistakes in diagnosis and treatment on the preceding stages that resulted in considerable secondary changes in articulation and unjustified loss of working ability. All patients were subjected to plasty of ligamentous apparatus by means of a cold-preserved allotendon. As the result of careful preparation of a patient for operation and application of complex restorative treatment, including general radon baths, during post-operative period, there have been obtained positive results of treatment in predominant majority of cases (87.9%). The difficulties of rehabilitation are caused mainly by late coming of the patients.
