Excision arthroplasty for infected constrained total knee replacements. Abstract Text:

A W Lettin,M J Neil,N D Citron,A August,

We have reviewed 15 patients with infected total knee replacements after removal of the prosthesis, rigorous debridement, antibiotic irrigation, and prolonged systemic antibiotics. Infection was permanently eradicated in all patients; they were left with a functioning limb, on which they could walk with either a caliper (8 patients), a simple splint (3), crutches, or sticks. Three were disappointed because of residual pain. We believe that, if exchange arthroplasty is inappropriate, this procedure is preferable to arthrodesis or amputation for persistent and disabling infection, particularly where constrained artificial joints have been used.
