Hi,
there is a solution, but every solution has a price to pay, the usual routine is to first, remove the infected bone, and start on treatment with drugs, once infection clears, a proper replacement can be done. but lets be frank, this is not as simple as it sounds, first find with blood investigations if there is any infection in the first place, and then only things can proceed further.
Hope that answers your query.
