Modular Knee Arthrodesis as Definitive Treatment for Periprosthetic Infection, Bone Loss, and Failure of the Extensor Mechanism After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can result in bone and soft-tissue loss, leg length discrepancies, and dysfunctional extensor mechanisms.
