Novel post-cam endoskeleton-reinforced posterior-stabilized cement articulating spacer reduced the rate of mechanical complications in prosthetic knee infection
The novel PC-PS spacers prevented mechanical complications, spacer exchange, and the need for high-level constraint revision prostheses. We recommend the use of novel PC-PS spacers in two-stage exchange for chronic PKIs, especially in patients with a high body mass index, small femoral spacer size, and high knee flexion.
