Management bone loss of the proximal femur in revision hip arthroplasty: Update on reconstructive options

Figure 3 Anteroposterior radiograph of bone loss. A: Anteroposterior (AP) radiograph of the right hip showing minimal bone loss of the proximal metaphyseal bone secondary to periprosthetic hip infection. A antibiotic cement spacer was implanted after irrigation and debridement during the first stage of a two-stage exchange arthroplasty; B: AP radiograph of the same hip after the second stage. The metaphyseal bone loss was minimal and a cementless primary stems with common length and geometry was used.
