  • Title: Two-stage exchange for infected resurfacing arthroplasty: use of a novel cement spacer technique.
    Author: Sharma AK, Gioe TJ, Nelson TE.
    Journal: J Arthroplasty; 2011 Sep; 26(6):976.e11-5. PubMed ID: 20932705.
    Abstract:
    Infection after total hip arthroplasty is a devastating complication. A 2-stage reimplantation with antibiotic-impregnated interval spacer is typically recommended. We present a case of infected resurfacing hip arthroplasty treated with a novel cement spacer technique. The aim was to avoid the introduction of the infection into the femoral medullary canal with the use of a conventional stemmed antibiotic cement spacer. Reimplantation was accomplished routinely, and the patient remains infection-free at 9 months.
