Ugeskr Laeger. 2005 Aug 29;167(35):3295-6.
Infection following knee arthroplasty is a severe complication which may lead to arthrodesis or even amputation. We wanted to examine the results after arthrodesis of the knee using the Ilizarov ring fixator in eight patients.
Eight patients (seven females, one male) who underwent knee arthrodesis with the Ilizarov external fixator were studied retrospectively. Their median age was 63 (51-84) years. The mean follow-up period after removal of the fixator was 10 months.
Six arthrodeses healed without further operation. One patient died before the end of follow-up. One patient had an above-knee amputation because of chronic infection. Associated complications were the complications/problems which are already well known.
The Ilizarov ring fixator is a reliable method for performing arthrodesis after removal of an infected total knee arthroplasty.
膝关节置换术后感染是一种严重并发症，可能导致关节融合甚至截肢。我们想研究8例使用伊利扎罗夫环形固定器进行膝关节融合术后的结果。
回顾性研究8例使用伊利扎罗夫外固定器进行膝关节融合术的患者（7例女性，1例男性）。他们的年龄中位数为63岁（51 - 84岁）。拆除固定器后的平均随访期为10个月。
6例关节融合未进行进一步手术即愈合。1例患者在随访结束前死亡。1例患者因慢性感染行膝上截肢术。相关并发症为已广为人知的并发症/问题。
伊利扎罗夫环形固定器是在去除感染的全膝关节置换术后进行关节融合的可靠方法。
