One mix of antibiotic-loaded bone cement is placed into the débrided acetabulum. (A) The cement is inserted in a doughy state to provide some, but limited, interdigitation into bone. Avoiding excessive cement interdigitation eases removal of the implant during definitive hip arthroplasty. (B) The all-polyethylene liner is cemented into the acetabulum.
