A 59-year-old woman with bilateral PI following Staphylococcus aureus sepsis, 2 years after bilateral 1-stage exchange. On the right side: reconstruction with a Müller reinforcement ring for a type-1 defect, and a long Wagner stem by transfemoral approach. On the left side: a reconstruction with a Burch-Schneider ring to bridge a type-2B defect. A cemented Virtec stem with transgluteal approach was implanted. At the 2-year follow-up, the HHS (bilateral) was 97, there was a slight limp, there were no radiographic signs of loosening, the transfemoral osteotomy was healed, and the infection was cured.
