I. Ivarsson et al., REVISION OF INFECTED HIP-REPLACEMENT - 2-STAGE PROCEDURE WITH A TEMPORARY GENTAMICIN SPACER, Acta orthopaedica Scandinavica, 65(1), 1994, pp. 7-8
We revised 5 infected totally-replaced hips in 2 stages. At the first
operation a gentamicin-loaded modelled cement spacer was inserted, and
the definitive prosthesis was inserted 3-8 weeks later. 9-24 months a
fter the last operation, there was a recurrent infection in 1 case. 2
of the Patients could walk in the interval.
