International Journal of Medical Sciences , 09/14/09
Sukeik M et al. – Treatment of late chronic hip joint infections after THA is a challenging problem. The gold standard remains a two–stage revision arthroplasty using antibiotic–impregnated cement spacers which achieves an infection control rate over 90%. Articulating spacers provide the advantages of maintaining limb length and joint mobility, minimising soft–tissue contracture and scarring, and facilitating second–stage reimplantation and therefore, should be used as the first option of treatment for late chronic hip joint infections.
