Description

Effective local release of an antibiotic (gentamicin) Improves quality of life between surgical interventions The knee spacer is made from antibiotic-containing (gentamicin) PMMA bone cement. Advantages Preservation of the intra-articular space. Retention of joint movement. Facilitates surgical access because the patellar tendon is free of the adhesions usually associated with immobilization. Allows the extensors to be conserved and ligament function to be maintained. Can preserve the function of the collateral ligaments. Better scope of mobilization than with block spacers. Reduces the functional recovery time after final revision procedure. The LinkSpacer Hip and Knee are temporary implants which support the treatment of prosthetic hip/knee joint infections using a two-stage procedure with effective local antibiotic release. These temporary implants give a higher quality of life between operations.
