Salvage of total knee arthroplasty with local fasciocutaneous flaps
GG Hallock
Allentown Hospital, Pennsylvania.
Six patients who had delayed healing of the wound after total knee
replacement were treated by appropriate debridement and restoration of
soft-tissue coverage with local fasciocutaneous flaps. This procedure was
successful; deep infection and failure of the arthroplasty did not develop
in any patient.
