    The study evaluates hip biomechanical parameters after hip spacer placement in two-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection.

  • 2

    Key parameters assessed include leg length discrepancy, femoral offset, acetabular offset, and global offset following spacer implantation.

  • 3

    The study involved a retrospective analysis of patients treated between January 2020 and December 2022, with data collected prospectively.

  • 4

    Complications associated with spacer use, such as dislocation and fracture, were noted, with rates varying widely in the literature.

  • 5

    The study aims to correlate variations in offset parameters with interstage mechanical complications during the revision process.
