He presents compelling evidence that durable metal and plastic spacers in a one-and-a-half stage approach can match or exceed two-stage outcomes—with fewer surgeries and less antibiotic burden for patients. His insights on reducing post-operative antibiotics and the comparable success rates of retained spacers are reshaping how we think about PJI treatment.
