Knee arthrodesis can be an effective treatment option for relieving pain and restoring some function after the failure of a total knee arthroplasty as the result of infection. Obtaining large surfaces of bleeding contact bone during arthrodesis may contribute to stability and enhance bone-healing. In this JBJS/VJO video supplement, Nicholas G. Sotereanos, MD demonstrates his surgical technique for arthrodesis of the knee with use of a long intrameduallary nail and convex-to-concave preparation of bone ends to provide a painless functional gait with low complication and reoperation rates in this challenging group of patients.
