The Influence of Antibiotics on the Fatigue Life of Acrylic Bone Cement: Assuring Clinical Structural Integrity - Series Ii
ثبت نشده
چکیده
To date, several orthopaedic manufacturers have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510[k] clearance for their pre-packaged antibiotic-loaded bone cement for use in the second stage of a two-stage revision situation where the initial infection has been cleared. This availability provides a more uniform cement mix with known mechanical and elution characteristics at the 0.5 to 1.0g level of antibiotic per 40g of polymer powder.

Acrylic antibiotic-loaded bone cement: a basic study
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement in controlling local infection and in regard to its physical characteristics, elastic modulus, and tensile strength in-vitro. Methods: Acrylic bone cement, based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) was mixed with the powder form of three antibiotics, i.e., gentamicin, tobramycin, and...

During 2003, several orthopaedic manufacturers received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510[k] clearance for their pre-packaged antibiotic-loaded bone cement for use in the second stage of a two-stage revision situation where the initial infection has been cleared. This availability provides a more uniform cement mix with known mechanical and elution characteristics at the 0.5 to 1.0g level ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Notching of Simplex-P Bone Cement on the Fatigue Lives of Regular Versus Vacuum-Mixed Specimens
Purpose—It has been shown that a partialvacuum slow-speed system for blending of the liquid and powder components of Simplex-P produces set acrylic bone cement specimens of less than 1 percent porosity with significantly improved uniaxial tensile fatigue lives over regularly mixed cement. However, those tests were conducted using smooth-machined specimens, which may not necessarily be clinicall...
متن کاملAntibiotic Loaded Acrylic Bone Cement in Orthopaedic Trauma
Local antibiotic delivery with antibiotic loaded acrylic bone cement has been used extensively in the management of chronic osteomyelitis and implant related infections. It is considered the gold standard for treatment of musculoskeletal infections (Nelson, 2004; Hanssen, 2005; Samuel et al., 2010). The critical factors in the treatment of any orthopaedic infection are adequate surgical debride...
متن کاملImproved fatigue life of acrylic bone cements reinforced with zirconia fibers.
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cements have a long and successful history of use for implant fixation, but suffer from a relatively low fracture and fatigue resistance which can result in failure of the cement and the implant. Fiber or particulate reinforcement has been used to improve mechanical properties, but typically at the expense of the pre-cured cement viscosity, which is critica...
