BACKGROUND A 37-year-old female with a hyperkinetic movement disorder due to chorea-acanthocytosis developed severe painful degenerative arthritis of her left knee as a consequence of repetitive involuntary flexion and extension dystonic and ballistic movements. CASE REPORT Despite profound limitation in her mobility a total knee replacement was successfully undertaken. DISCUSSION The case emphasizes that patients with progressive neurodegenerative disorders may derive relief or resolution of pain by joint replacement even if mobility does not improve following surgery.
