Abstract EN

Infection following total knee arthroplasty is a serious and increasingly common complication.

Several treatment options are available.

Although a two-stage revision remains the gold standard, salvage procedures are sometimes needed.

We describe a case of an infected knee arthroplasty that was salvaged using a novel technique combining two linked intramedullary nails and bilateral compression plating.
