Abstract:
Resection arthroplasty of a chronically infected total knee arthroplasty resulted in thin and contracted anterior skin. Expansion of skin using Silastic reservoirs (McGhan Medical, Santa Barbara, CA) facilitated wound closure and rehabilitation following staged total knee reimplantation. Prophylactic expansion of skin around the knee avoided salvage soft tissue procedures such as local and distant tissue flaps.
