Absolutely! I will post my progress here and invite any and all questions. I do know that my antibiotic-infused cement block spacer is a static spacer so I will not be able to move at all during the 3 months that I have it in- I'll have a cast that they change every 6 weeks. (whoo hoo.)
I asked my orthosurgeon about the static spacer vs movable one, and he said he found more people had pain and also dislocated the spacer when they had the ability to move it, which is why he chose the immobility option.
