Knee Arthrodesis in Severe Injured Knee Joints
In this report we present our experiences with knee arthrodesis nails as a secondary salvage procedure after severe knee injuries at a level-one trauma centre. Exemplary two cases of subtotal amputation are discussed. Both cases, of totally destroyed knee joints, were treated with a unilateral external fixator, shortening and secondary bifocal distraction osteogenesis. In one case nailing after...
متن کاملPositive pressure in arthrodesis of the knee joint.
Albert Key (1932) described a method of amthrodesis of the tuberculous knee joint in which the cut bone surfaces were compressed against each other after excision of the joint. He had previously been impressed with the difficulty of securing bone union in this condition, but in five cases treated with compression he reported that union was achieved ‘ ‘ in an unusually short period of time. “ Hi...
متن کاملKnee arthrodesis as limb salvage for complex failures of total knee arthroplasty.
Patients with multiple failures of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are challenging limb salvage cases. Twenty one patients over the last 10 years were referred to our service for knee fusion by arthroplasty surgeons who felt they were not candidates for revision TKA. Active infection was present in 76.2% and total bone loss averaged 6.6 cm. Lengthening was performed in 7/22 patients. Total time i...
متن کاملArthrodesis of the knee after failed knee replacement.
Arthrodesis of the knee is sometimes needed for failed total knee replacement, but fusion can be difficult to obtain. We describe a method of arthrodesis that uses the simple, inexpensive, Portsmouth external fixator. Bony union was obtained in all six patients treated with this technique. These results are compared with those obtained by other methods of arthrodesis.
متن کاملTwo-stage Revision for Periprosthetic Hip and Knee Joint Infections

The diagnostic workflow of PJI includes detailed clinical examination, serum markers, imaging and aspiration/biopsy of the affected joint. The goals of treatment are eradication of the infection, alleviation of pain, and restoration of joint function. Surgical man...
