A Permanent Articulating Spacer versus Two-Stage Exchange for Chronic PJI: A Propensity-Score Matched Study.
Abstract
Although two-stage revision has been proposed as gold standard for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment, limited evidence exists for the role of articulating spacers as definitive management. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and costs associated with articulating spacers (1.5-stage) and a matched 2-stage cohort.
