Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative radiographic images of two patients ( a – c and d – f ). From left to right, X-rays are provided of the same patient prior to explantation, with the articulating spacer in-situ, and after reimplantation of the new prosthesis. In both cases cement-free fixation was performed using a straight femoral stem (CLS Spotorno, Zimmer) and a press-fit acetabular cup (Allofit, Zimmer). If poor bone-stock was assumed intraoperatively a femoral cerclage (Cable-Ready, Zimmer) was used ( c ) before final implantation of the femoral stem to minimize the risk for an intraoperative femoral fracture

Article Snippet: After extensive irrigation and final verification that all foreign, infected, sclerotic, or necrotic tissue has been removed, reimplantation of a new standard hip prosthesis (e.g., CLS Spotorno stem and Allofit acetabular cup (Zimmer Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA) is conducted.

Techniques: In Situ

Figure Lengend Snippet: Illustration of our articulating hip spacer technique. a Situs after infected prosthesis is removed and radical debridement is performed. b Custom-made acetabular socket is formed from antibiotic-loaded bone cement and its implantation is performed. c Next, the femoral stem is wrapped with custom-made antibiotic-loaded bone cement and inserted into the proximal femur. To facilitate explantation at second-stage surgery, no cement is applied around the tip of the femoral stem. d After both spacer components (acetabular PMMA cup and PMMA-wrapped femoral stem) are in place, e the trial femoral head (size S-XL) is connected with the femoral stem, and a trial reduction maneuver is carefully performed. Clinical examination for stability, dislocation safety, and free range of motion is performed and the final femoral head size is chosen. f After final reduction, spacer implantation is completed
