Popis: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of modular intramedullary arthrodesis performed in Indian patients for persistent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical and radiological records of 10 patients treated with modular intramedullary arthrodesis performed in Indian patients for persistent PJI. Pre- and postoperative (at final follow-up) Knee Society score (KSS), reinfection rate and limb length discrepancy (LLD) were analysed to determine functional outcome and complications of this procedure. Results: Ten patients (6 females and 4 males) who underwent cemented modular intramedullary arthrodesis were analysed for this study. At a mean follow-up of 19.5 ± 5.5 months (95% CI, 15.5-23.5 months), mean preoperative Knee Society knee score of 28 ± 5.9 (95% CI, 23.7-32.2) significantly improved (p
