Abstract
We present a case of a 63-year-old woman with an infected metacarpophalangeal arthroplasty, treated with an articulating cement spacer over a K-wire framework. This technique maintained joint movement during the management of the infection, leading to a positive functional outcome.<b>Level of evidence:</b> V.
