description Infection following total hip arthroplasty can be a devastating complication, often necessitating a 2-stage surgery with the temporary placement of an antibiotic spacer. Fracture around this spacer is an uncommon complication that presents serious treatment challenges. Our manuscript details the successful surgical treatment of a previously unreported fracture around an antibiotic spacer, treated with revision to a hemiarthroplasty and placement of an antibiotic plate.
