ABSTRACT
Standard treatment for an infected total hip arthroplasty is 2-stage revision. Bone loss in infected total hip arthroplasty presents specific challenges during the first stage. This is especially the case when there is massive or complete loss of the femoral bone stock. We describe a technique successfully used in the setting of total femoral bone loss using a hybrid cement spacer. We describe 2 cases illustrating the technique and perioperative course. This technique is a potential solution for total femoral bone loss that allows the individual to maintain mobility before definitive surgery.
