STEP 1In accordance with the existing total joint manufacturer’s technique, prepare the infected joint space by first removing the prosthesis and any PMMA cement, if present, and any hardware (which may be a reservoir of infection). Continue to prepare the joint space with aggressive debridement and pulse lavage.
STEP 2Using the REMEDY® Stemmed Knee Spacer Trials, select the appropriate size femoral and tibial components. If a stem extension is necessary, select between the two available lengths and place through the opening of the femoral and/or tibial stemmed trial to ensure the stem is able to be fully seated. It is important that the joint is neither loose nor tight, therefore the surgeon will have to consider the additional room occupied by the cement needed for the fixation.
STEP 3Apply UNITE® AB Bone Cement (or any FDA cleared AB Cement) over the tibial component surface in contact with the bone and tibial plateau.
If the tibial bone defect is excessive and additional height is required, apply cement to the tibial wedge insert and cement it to the inferior aspect of the tibial component.
STEP 4With additional cement fill the housing of the tibial component, insert the conical tip of the selected stem extension and complete the stem fixation by using cement around stem and housing connection. If additional fixation is necessary, cement may be applied to the nearest pocket of the stem extension component.
Give the stem the necessary angulation, up to 8° in all the directions, to match the patient’s tibial canal anatomy. Then insert the construct into the tibia while cement is still in a moldable phase avoiding excess cement to adhere to the joint surfaces.
Remove the cement from the posterior tibial intercondylar notch.
Note: If stem extensions are not used, cement will be used only for the fixation of the tibial and/or femoral components.
STEP 6Apply cement into the housing of the femoral component, and repeat Step 4 as applicable to the femoral component.
STEP 7Reduce the joint ensuring all cement is removed from the articular surface. To assure correct alignment of the components, make flex/extension movements before the cement curing occurs. DO NOT forcefully bring the knee into full extension as too much force could lead to fracture of the femoral or tibial components. Then, close and check flexion/extension movements and medial/lateral stability. Depending on the stability of the knee, it may be necessary to apply a brace to avoid the risk of dislocation. Note: When placing the components with cement, DO NOT impact the device with a mallet. It is recommended to use hand pressure only while placing the components.
STEP 5Apply UNITE® AB Bone Cement (or any FDA cleared AB Cement) over the femoral component in contact with the bone and femoral surface.

KNEE INTERCHANGEABILITYThe REMEDY® Knee Spacer is part of the treatment foreseen in a two-stage
procedure performed in the event of permanent prosthesis infection. The
REMEDY® Knee Spacer implant is intended for temporary use only (180 days
or less). It allows basic joint mobility and releases antibiotics into the joint area
to protect the implant from bacterial colonization. A second surgery will be
required at a later date to remove the REMEDY® Knee Spacer and replace it
with a permanent knee joint implant.

STEP 1In accordance with the existing total joint manufacturer’s technique, prepare the infected joint space by first removing the prosthesis and any PMMA cement, if present, and any hardware (which may be a reservoir of infection).
Continue to prepare the joint space with aggressive debridement and pulse lavage.
STEP 2Using the REMEDY® Spacer Trials, select the appropriate size femoral and tibial components. It is important that the joint is neither loose nor tight, therefore the surgeon will have to consider the additional room occupied by the cement needed for the fixation.
Apply PMMA bone cement (see Step 3) to the femoral component and femoral surface.
STEP 4STEP 3Using UNITE®AB Bone Cement, or FDA cleared gentamicin-based PMMA, apply cement over the entire surface of the component and tibial plateau and insert into the tibia.
OPTIONAL
STEP 5Reduce the joint, removing all the excess cement, avoiding the cement that may go on the articular surface. To assure correct alignment of the components, make flex/extension movements before the cement curing occurs. Then close and check flex/extension movements and lateral stability.
Depending on the stability of the knee, it may be necessary to apply a brace to avoid the risk of dislocation.
Note: When placing the components with cement, DO NOT impact the device with a mallet. It is recommended to use hand pressure only while placing the components.
If the tibial bone defect is excessive and additional height is required, apply PMMA to the tibial insert wedge and cement this to the inferior aspect of the tibial component.

STEP 8Using UNITE® AB Bone Cement, or SPECTRUM® GV Bone Cement, apply cement to the proximal aspect of the stem.†† The use of the cement is compulsory to avoid rotation and to limit the risk of dislocation.
Note: For additional fixation to the stem the remaining offset space and threads of the stem,
up to the femoral head, can be filled with antibiotic-loaded bone
cement. Cement may also be applied once seated within the femoral canal.

REMEDY® & REMEDY SPECTRUM® GV HIP SPACER TECHNIQUE
STEP 2Using the REMEDY® Spacer Trials,† select the appropriate size femoral stem, femoral head, and acetabular cup (if applicable).†† If using the acetabular cup, check the dimensions of the native acetabulum using the TRIAL end of the REMEDY® Acetabular Cup Trial/Handle.
STEP 3
With the appropriate head size selected, open the packages and remove the monomer vial.
STEP 6
STEP 7Remove the cover cap, pour the remaining monomer out and place head onto the femoral stem. Begin to turn the femoral head until the appropriate off-set is achieved.
WARNING: The head must be seated past the safety colored line marked on the stem thread.
On the trials, the colored line is designated with a missing thread on the stem neck.
STEP 9Insert the stem (with head properly affixed) into the canal. Perform a final reduction to assess joint stability and implant alignment.
STEP 1In accordance with the existing total joint manufacturer’s technique, prepare the infected joint space by first removing the prosthesis and any PMMA cement, if present, and any hardware (which may be a reservoir of infection).
Important Note: Once the head location is selected be sure not to continue to adjust the head location as this could affect the fixation between the head and the stem.
If implanting without an acetabular cup, proceed to Step 6.
Using UNITE® AB Bone Cement, or any FDA-cleared gentamicin-based PMMA, apply cement to the native acetabulum and the backside of the REMEDY® Acetabular Cup. Place the acetabular cup into the acetabulum by hand.
STEP 4Using the IMPLANT end of the REMEDY® Acetabular Cup Trial/Handle, position the cup spacer into the desired orientation within the native acetabulum.
Insert and seal the hole with the plastic cover cap supplied. Shake the head for 60 seconds to ensure all of the threads within the head are wet with monomer.
TRIALS
STEP 5With the acetabular cup in place, a final trial reduction may be performed using the trial stem and head components to confirm or correct implant positioning, noting the chosen off-set with the head seated past the missing thread on the stem neck.
Break the vial open and pour all the monomer into the screw opening of the head.
Note: When placing the components with cement, do not impact with a mallet. It is recommended to use the trial/handle with hand pressure only.
Note for spacer removal: Prior to implantation of a new permanent THR, the operative area should be rigorously irrigated and rinsed after device extraction to remove all cement debris prior to implantation of the permanent prosthesis or other surgical pro-cedures (e.g., resection arthroplasty, etc.).
†The REMEDY® SPACER TRIALS can be used with the REMEDY® & REMEDY SPECTRUM® GV Hip Spacers.
††The SPECTRUM® GV Bone Cement is indicated for the fixation of a REMEDY SPECTRUM® GV Spacer to the host bone.

The REMEDY® Shoulder Spacer is part of the treatment foreseen in a two-stage procedure performed in the event
of permanent prosthesis infection. The REMEDY® Shoulder Spacer implant is intended for temporary use only
(180 days or less). It allows basic joint mobility and releases antibiotics into the joint
area to protect the implant from bacterial colonization. A second surgery will
be required at a later date to remove the REMEDY® Shoulder Spacer and
replace it with a permanent shoulder joint implant.

REMEDY® SHOULDER SPACER TECHNIQUE
STEP 1In accordance with the existing shoulder manufacturer’s tech-nique, prepare the infected joint space by first removing the shoulder prosthesis and any PMMA cement, if present, and any hardware that may be a reservoir of infection.
STEP 2Using the Shoulder Spacer Trials, select the appropriate size humeral stem and humeral head components.
STEP 3
Once the appropriate humeral head size is selected, open the package and remove the monomer vial.
Carefully, break the vial open and pour all the monomer into the screw opening of the humeral head.
STEP 4Remove the plastic cap, pour the remaining monomer out and place the head on the humeral stem. Begin turning the head until the desired offset and length are achieved.
WARNING: The humeral head must be seated past the colored Safety Line marked on the stem thread.
On the stem trials, the colored line is designated with a missing thread on the stem trunnion.
STEP 6Insert the humeral stem (with head properly affixed) into the canal to the desired position.
Continue to prepare the joint space with aggressive debridement, pulse lavage and other standard practices for preparing the infected joint space.
COVER CAP
Insert and seal the hole with the plastic cover cap supplied with the humeral head. Shake the head for 60 seconds to ensure all of the threads within the head are wet with monomer.
TRIAL
Important Note: Once the head location is selected, be sure not to continue to adjust the head location as this could affect the fixation between the head and the stem.
STEP 5Using UNITE® AB Bone Cement, or other FDA cleared gentamicin-based PMMA, apply cement to the proximal aspect of the stem. The use of bone cement is compulsory to avoid rotation and to limit the risk of dislocation or spacer loosening.
Note: For additional fixation to the stem the remaining offset space and threads of the stem, up to the humeral head, can be filled with gentamicin-loaded bone cement. Cement may also be applied once seated within the humeral canal. 15
