The operation of arthrodesis, or artificial ankylosis of the joint, first performed by Albert in 1878, is one of the most beneficial orthopedic methods of treatment in cases of complete paralysis of all muscles moving this joint and in cases of ankylosis in a functionally disadvantageous position of the joint, when a quick recovery of the patient's ability to work is required if it is impossible, for one reason or another, to use his orthopedic devices.
