The influence of antibiotics on the fatigue life of acrylic bone cement.

چکیده
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 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...

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 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...
متن کاملCompressive fatigue properties of a commercially available acrylic bone cement for vertebroplasty.
Acrylic bone cements are widely used for fixation of joint prostheses as well as for vertebral body augmentation procedures of vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty, with the cement zone(s) being subjected to repeated mechanical loading in each of these applications. Although, in vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty, the cement zone is exposed to mainly cyclical compressive load, the compres...
