Effective local release of an antibiotic (gentamicin)
Improves quality of life between surgical interventions
The hip spacer made of PMMA bone cement contains a highly concentrated antibiotic (gentamicin).
An internal metal core of stainless steel (AISI 316L) reinforces the temporary prosthesis.
Advantages
Metal core gives high strength with limited physiological and mechanical loading.
Prevents proximal femur migration and facilitates the surgical approach during the final revision.
Helps to maintain the functionality of the hip muscles.
Early mobilization means early rehabilitation for patients.
