There were 2675 patients with the consequences of poliomyelitis, of which 773 (28.9%) had paralytic instability with deformity of the knee joint. Arthrodesis of the knee joint was performed in 316 patients, transplantation of the tibial flexors to the patella in 235 patients. For the treatment of paralytic deformities of the knee joint, operations should be used to restore the axis of the limb and aimed at preventing gonarthrosis. New ways of treating deformities developed by the author are described.
