Infection following total knee arthroplasty is a serious and increasingly common complication. Several treatment options are available. Although a two-stage revision remains the gold standard, salvage procedures are sometimes needed. We describe a case of an infected knee arthroplasty that was salvaged using a novel technique combining two linked intramedullary nails and bilateral compression plating.
全膝关节置换术后感染是一种严重且日益常见的并发症。有几种治疗选择。虽然两阶段翻修术仍然是金标准,但有时需要采用挽救性手术。我们描述了一例感染性膝关节置换术病例,该病例采用一种结合两根相连髓内钉和双侧加压钢板的新技术得以挽救。
