The use of arthrodesis to salvage failed total knee arthroplasty is reviewed in nine patients. Prosthetic failure was due to infection in six cases, aseptic loosening in two cases, and instability in one case. The techniques of arthrodesis included six Hoffman external fixators, two fluted intramedullary rods (3M-Orthopedic Products Division, St Paul), and one pulsing electromagnetic field stimulator. Arthrodesis was successful in eight of nine patients, averaging 5.4 months to union. All eight patients resumed a painfree functional level of activity. Meticulous surgical technique and appropriate method of arthrodesis are emphasized.
对9例采用关节融合术挽救失败的全膝关节置换术的患者进行了回顾性研究。假体失败的原因包括6例感染、2例无菌性松动和1例不稳定。关节融合术的技术包括6例使用霍夫曼外固定器、2例使用带槽髓内棒（3M骨科产品部，圣保罗）和1例使用脉冲电磁场刺激器。9例患者中有8例关节融合成功，平均融合时间为5.4个月。所有8例患者均恢复到无痛的功能活动水平。强调了细致的手术技术和合适的关节融合方法。
