@lynzze I expect to have the spacer in there for 2-3 months...and hopefully only once! I'm sorry you've had to go through it so many times. Do they know why you had so many recurring infections? When was the last time you went through it all?

I received some of my pre-surgery paperwork today and was very disappointed to see that my Doc is planning to do the posterior approach to remove the current implant and to place the spacer. Perhaps that's the only way the explant can be done?? I understand that poses a more difficult recovery compared to the anterior approach, which is what I had done for the original hip job last year.
