Knee compression fusion

The joint surface of the knee joint is large, so strong intra-articular fusion can get strong bone healing. Sometimes the sacrum is used as a bone graft for extra-articular fusion to make the appearance almost normal. There are many methods for knee joint fusion. Among them, compression fusion has many advantages, simple operation, high healing rate, and short healing time. It is widely used in clinical practice. Patients who need to perform fusion of the knee joint are often accompanied by contracture deformities of different degrees. For example, if it is intended to correct the deformity by removing more bone during fusion, it will inevitably make the shortened limbs shorter and affect the limb function and body balance. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the contracture deformity as much as possible before the operation to ensure the good effect of fusion.
