Mucoraceae infections of antibiotic-loaded cement spacers in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by knee arthroplasty
Ceffa, Remo; Andreoni, Stefano; Borrè, Silvio; Ghisellini, Franco; Fornara, Paolo; Brugo, Giovanni; Ritter, Merrill AKnee
Two clinical cases of mycotic infections secondary to knee spacers medicated with antibiotics against bacterial infections are presented. Care must be taken between the first and second stage (when the spacer is in place), and attention must be paid to the management of the surgical wound to avoid secondary contamination.
