Abstrakt:	Two-stage revision is generally preferred to eradicate chronic periprosthetic infections after total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of its good infection control and promising results. During two-stage revision, a temporary antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer was initially used for the local delivery of antibiotics, thereby reducing the risk of infection recurrence. Many researchers have reported various techniques for fabricating cemented spacers; however, there is no established standard technique. We share our cost-effective and easily reproducible technique for creating an articulated cemented spacer for managing infected THA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
