One case of antibiotic-load temporary spacer migration. A 73- year-old male patient was diagnosed with right hip purulent infection and underwent debridement and antibiotic-loaded bone cement temporary spacers. PD occurred 3 days after the operation, and the Allis maneuver was applied for reduction. Spacer migration was confirmed from the AP view of the pelvic X-ray film, and open reduction with spacer exchange was performed. a. Preoperative X-ray film of the pelvis. b.
