To treat total knee arthroplasty, 2-stage revision, including removal and reimplantation, remains the standard treatment for the infected arthroplasty. Articulating cement spacer has been shown to provide better functional results after reimplantation. However, its cost as a manufactured product is not always easily affordable and the choice of antibiotics is not flexible either. The authors have developed a method for surgeons to make cement-on-cement articulating spacers themselves by using an impression-taking technique with polydimethyl siloxane. The current study was conducted to test their clinical efficacy.
