Two-stage revisions with antibiotic-loaded spacers have gained popularity for treating infected hip-joint arthroplasties. The aim of this prospective study was to assess patient functionality between stages and treatment impact on duration of hospital stay and to describe related complications. Sixty-one consecutive patients with infected hip arthroplasties underwent two-stage revision with preformed spacer implantation. Mean Harris Hip and Merle d'Aubigné scores between the two stages were 39.9 and 7.6, respectively. Forty-six patients (75.4%) were able to leave hospital between stages. Spacer dislocation occurred in 16.4%. No cases of spacer breakage were noted. Preformed cement spacers provide acceptable functional outcome between revision hip arthroplasty stages and facilitate the surgical procedure without increasing mechanical complication rates.

Background: Treating infectious bone defects combined with large soft-tissue lesions poses significant clinical challenges. Herein, we introduced a modified two-stage treatment approach involving the implantation of 3D-printed prostheses and flap repair to treat large segmental infectious tibial bone defects.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 13 patients treated at our center between April 2018 and March 2022 for tibial infections owing to posttraumatic infection and chronic osteomyelitis combined with soft tissue defects.

Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) is a new regulatory concept guiding chemical and material innovation. The European Commission has recommended a two-stage SSbD framework and plan to revise it based on stakeholder feedback. The framework involves establishing key (re)design SSbD principles and assessment of the final innovation, however the applicability of the framework to advanced materials remains to be addressed.

Introduction: Recent studies have increasingly provided evidence that one-stage septic revisions for hip and knee are a safe treatment option for periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in selected patients. However, there is still a wide treatment variation concerning indications and execution among different practices. This study aimed to describe these differences.

Purpose: The two-stage exchange revision represents a pivotal strategy in the management of prosthetic joint infections, wherein the judicious timing of reimplantation serves as a crucial determinant for therapeutic success. At present, attempts have been made to utilize predictive models to establish the optimal timing for reimplantation; however, their predictive accuracy remains unsatisfactory. This inadequacy primarily arises from the lack of dependable predictive indicators, which demonstrate inconsistent effectiveness across various studies and occasionally yield contradictory outcomes.
