| Core Tip |
Long stem infected revision total knees are challenging and are often treated with above the knee amputation. The authors provide a limb salvage technique for conversion to a knee fusion. A lateral approach to the femur and tibia with extended osteotomies allows for implant removal. A long cephalomedullary nail, supplemented with antibiotic cement, provides for a functional fusion. This a major surgical procedure that will likely involve blood transfusions and intensive care management, and post operative wound problems are common. However, if successful, patients can expect to walk with a shoe lift and a walking aide. |
