RECOMMENDATION: We recommend tailoring the antibiotic in cement spacers to the infecting organism if it has been identified, as is typically done in total knee and hip arthroplasty. Otherwise, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be utilized. Medical comorbidities
should always be considered, especially with regard to renal function and allergy profile. A thermostable antibiotic should be added to cement.
