چکیده

PURPOSE To compare the pharmacokinetic profile of tobramycin in blood, urine, and at the operative site following the use of Simplex-tobramycin bone cement in primary total hip replacement between patients with and without renal dysfunction. METHODS Six patients with renal dysfunction underwent cemented primary total hip replacement for osteoarthritis. The elution characteristics of Simplex-tobramycin bone cement in the 6 patients with renal dysfunction were compared with 9 patients who had normal renal function. Blood, urine, and drainage fluid specimens were collected for 72 hours postoperatively. RESULTS Very high concentrations of tobramycin were seen in the drainage fluid of the 2 groups. Mean serum tobramycin levels peaked at postoperative 3 hours, and declined rapidly to negligible levels at 72 hours in both groups. Mean urinary tobramycin concentrations peaked at postoperative 12 hours and declined rapidly until 48 hours in both groups. Urinary tobramycin was excreted significantly more slowly in renal dysfunction group in the first 12 hours, but not thereafter. Although serum creatinine levels of the renal dysfunction group were higher throughout the study period, the difference was not significant. Both groups achieved excellent local delivery of the antibiotic with minimal systemic concentrations. CONCLUSION Simplex-tobramycin bone cement appears to be an effective and safe means to deliver antibiotic for patients with renal dysfunction who undergo total hip replacement.

The pharmacokinetics of Simplex-tobramycin bone cement.

We prospectively investigated a consecutive series of ten patients undergoing a cemented primary total hip replacement (THR) for osteoarthritis in order to establish the elution characteristics of Simplex-tobramycin bone cement (Howmedica, Limerick, Ireland). Specimens of blood, urine and drainage fluid were collected for 72 hours postoperatively. Very high concentrations of tobramycin were fou...

The effect of adding tobramycin to Simplex P cement on femoral stem micromotion as measured by radiostereometric analysis

BACKGROUND Previous in vitro research on addition of antibiotics to bone cement has found no statistically significant deterioration in mechanical properties. However, no clinical studies have compared the performance of tobramycin-laden bone cement with that of standard bone cement (Simplex P). PATIENTS AND METHODS 23 patients (25 hips) were randomized to receive an Exeter (Stryker Orthopaed...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) with the use of antibiotic-impregnated bone cement in primary total knee arthroplasty.

Dear Editor, Antibiotic-impregnated bone cement has been used routinely in total hip and knee replacements as it has been shown to reduce the incidence of deep wound infection.1-7 The antibiotics used include nephrotoxic gentamicin as well as tobramycin and polymyxin, besides other less nephrotoxic such as cefuroxime. The risk of nephrotoxicity from the use of the former has been deemed to be l...

Antibiotic-loaded bone cement reduces deep infection rates for primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: a retrospective, cohort study of 501 shoulders.

BACKGROUND Deep infection after primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a devastating event and has an increased incidence compared with anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Recent reports in the hip and knee arthroplasty literature suggest that antibiotic-loaded bone cement may lower infection rates for primary arthroplasties. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the e...

Palacos compared to Palamed bone cement in total hip replacement: a randomized controlled trial

Background and purpose - Stability and survival of cemented total hip prostheses is dependent on a multitude of factors, including the type of cement that is used. Bone cements vary in viscosity, from low to medium and high. There have been few clinical RSA studies comparing the performance of low- and high-viscosity bone cements. We compared the migration behavior of the Stanmore hip stem ceme...
