[Feasibility and limitations of reconstructive interventions in rheumatoid arthritis and Bekhterew's disease].

Among the reconstructive interventions in rheumatoid arthritis preponderate the arthroplasties, among them again the resection arthroplasties in contrast to the alloarthroplasties. The resection arthroplasties are most frequently performed on the forefoot and on the hand joint and the cubital joint. The artificial joint substitute is possible nearly on every joint. As to the hip joint the problems are already satisfactorily solved, not yet, however, on the knee joint. In Bechterew's disease the indication to the alloarthroplasty is to be rendered depending less on pain than on function. In severe kyphoses the columnotomy is to be taken into consideration.
