Aims. We report on the outcome of the Exeter Contemporary flanged cemented
all-polyethylene acetabular component with a mean follow-up of 12
years (10 to 13.9). This study reviewed 203 hips in 194 patients.
129 hips in 122 patients are still in situ; 66
hips in 64 patients were in patients who died before ten years,
and eight hips (eight patients) were revised. Clinical outcome scores
were available for 108 hips (104 patients) and radiographs for 103
hips (100 patients). Patients and Methods. A retrospective review was undertaken of a consecutive series
of 203 routine primary

This study was designed to characterize the recurrence incidence and risk factors of antibiotic-loaded cement spacer (ALCS) for definitive bone defect treatment in limb osteomyelitis. We included adult patients with limb osteomyelitis who received debridement and ALCS insertion into the bone defect as definitive management between 2013 and 2020 in our clinical centre. The follow-up time was at least two years. Data on patients’ demographics, clinical characteristics, and infection recurrence were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Aims
