Recombinant human erythropoietin therapy for autologous blood donation in rheumatoid arthritis patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty.

abstract：:With the increasing duration of follow up on total knee arthroplasties, more revision arthroplasties are being performed. When revision is not advisable, a salvage procedure such as arthrodesis or resection arthroplasty is indicated. This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature regarding arthrodesis ...
