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.
对于全膝关节置换失败的情况，有时需要进行膝关节融合术，但融合可能难以实现。我们描述了一种使用简单、廉价的朴茨茅斯外固定器进行关节融合的方法。采用该技术治疗的所有六名患者均实现了骨愈合。将这些结果与通过其他关节融合方法获得的结果进行了比较。
