Abstract

A 2-stage revision total hip replacement (THR) is the standard treatment for a chronically infected THR with severe metadiaphyseal bone loss. A long-stem cemented prosthesis as part of a temporary articular spacer is commonly used during the first-stage procedure. Nonetheless, this option is expensive and can pose difficulties for patients with a small medullary canal. A construct using an antibiotic cement-loaded Kuntscher nail cemented with a highly polished Exeter stem has been devised and used in 4 patients.
