Abstract
A case is presented herein in which infected total knee arthroplasty associated with a skin defect and patellar tendon rupture was reconstructed with lateral gastrocnemius-Achilles tendon complex after infection was controlled. The results were satisfactory, and the technique proposed herein is highly promising for treating such complicated circumstances after total knee arthroplasty, as not reported previously.
