Abstract
An antibiotics-impregnated cement spacer in the first step of the two-stage revision was effective not only to compensate tissue loss after removal of the implants and to minimize discrepancy of leg length, but also to contribute to improvement of perioperative and postoperative daily activities of the patient's life as well as treatment of the infection.
