Abstract
Accounting for methodology, articulating spacers with autoclaved femoral components provide similar infection control to previous reports. Most patients with reinfection grew different organisms compared with initial infection, suggesting that some subsequent infections may be host related. Some patients retained spacers definitively with overall good patient satisfaction.
