The patient was able to walk without assistance and there was no evidence of infection. infected total knee arthroplasty is one of the most difficult problems that an orthopedic surgeon may encounter. A number of treatment modalities have been proposed for the infected total knee arthroplasty so far. Knee arthrodesis with external fixator might be an effective treatment option for regaining the functions and restoration alignments of extremities in the patients with severe knee arthroplasty pproblmes complicated with infection. This case report can be a good example of satisfactory outcome and an effective approach to the resistant and complicated cases of TKA with co-morbid conditions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study diagnostic images pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Turkish refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
