متن کاملInfluence of Soluble Fillers in Improving Porosity of Handmade Antibiotic-Impregnated Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Beads: An in-vitro Study
There have been many investigations on non-biodegradable materials acting as an antibiotic carrier for local drug delivery systems based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads. However, the material is non-degradable and non-porous so that less than 5% of the encapsulated drug is released. In order to obtain better release of the antibiotics, greater porosity of the beads would be required. Ad...
متن کاملNew uses for gentamicin-impregnated polymethyl methacrylate spacers in two-stage revision hip arthroplasty.
The use of antibiotic-impregnated cement as a bone spacer in two-stage revision hip surgery has been well described. Two additional placements for spacers are described: within the trochanteric osteotomy and overlying the greater trochanter. These spacers have been found to dramatically facilitate exposure at the second-stage procedure and are now being incorporated into all two-stage revision ...
متن کاملAntibiotic impregnated cement spacer for salvage of diabetic osteomyelitis.
BACKGROUND Florid infection and osteomyelitis of the forefoot in patients with diabetic neuropathy often requires minor amputation, with risk of subsequent reulceration, reamputation, and patient dissatisfaction. We investigated use of an antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer (ACS) to release antibiotic locally to resolve residual infection and to fill the cavity created by debridement. METHOD...
متن کاملAntibiotic-impregnated cement spacer as definitive management for osteomyelitis
BACKGROUND Osteomyelitis is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. There is a lack of scientific evidence to guide treatment. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical outcome of unplanned retention of antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer (ACS) in the management of osteomyelitis. METHODS Eight patients (7 with tibial infections and 1 with a calcaneal infection) with osteomyelitis re...
