    Abstract:
    Functional and morphological results of transplantation (n = 3) and replantation (n = 4) of vascularised total knee joints were compared in a canine model. Follow up time was 6 months. All vascular anastomoses remained patent and all osteotomies healed. Replanted animals displayed normal static weight bearing in contrast to the transplant recipients, which showed reduced weight bearing after 6 months compared to preoperative values. Mild to moderate signs of chronic allograft rejection were detected in all transplanted animals. Functional results were correlated with morphological outcome demonstrating the relevance of adequate control of rejection.
