“…External fixation affords a good stability but requires good bone quality and a long period of non-weight bearing, with a low success rate vis-à-vis other methods [9,11]. Moreover, it is less well tolerated by patients, and there is a relatively high risk of pin infection [5,8,10,11]. It is indicated in patients with persistent active infection who are not eligible for intra-medullary nailing [5].…”

We reviewed 32 patients who all had knee arthrodesis performed after failed knee replacement. The minimum clinical follow-up was 1 year. The arthrodesis was performed by means of the Wichita fusion nail in 11, by external fixation in 15 cases, by plating in three and by intramedullary nailing in three. The mean patient age was 68.6 years. When the Wichita nail was used, fusion was achieved in ten out of 11 cases after a mean period of 4.5 (3-7) months. Of the remaining 21 patients, fusion was only achieved in 11 cases after a mean period of 6.5 (4.5-10) months.RØsumØ Nous avons examinØ 32 malades, avec un suivi minimum d'un an, apr s arthrod se du genou pour Øchec de remplacement prothØtique.

“…The time spent in the frame averaged 22 weeks, with a 50% complication rate. Garberina, et al reported on 19 patients also undergoing knee arthrodesis using the Ilizarov technique [11]. Fusion was successful in 68% of cases with patients in frames for an average 19 weeks, but the complication rate was again high, 84% of cases.…”
