Abstract
Total knee replacement was performed on two patients with Multiple sclerosis. Severe hamstring spasticity was encountered in both patients in the immediate post-operative period requiring further surgery. Both patients remain ambulatory at follow-up. The disease, and its implications in patients warranting total joint replacement are discussed.
