What Determines the Type and Dose of Antibiotic That Is Needed to Be Added to the Cement Spacer in Patients With Infected Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA)?
We recommend tailoring the antibiotic in cement spacers to the infecting organism if it has been identified, as is typically done in total knee and hip arthroplasty. Otherwise, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be utilized. Medical comorbidities should always be considered, especially with regard to renal function and allergy profile. A thermostable antibiotic should be added to cement.
