## Abstract Admixing of several antibiotic powders which were insoluble in methyl methacrylate did not decrease the compressive and diametral tensile strengths of two acrylic bone cements when tested after setting for 1 day and after leaching 40 days in water at 37ยฐC. When antibiotics were added as
## Abstract The use of antibiotic loaded bone cements (ALBCs) has become a common clinical practice in the prevention and treatment of prosthesisโrelated infections. However, due to antibiotic resistance, there is a general interest in broadening the antibacterial spectrum of currently used drugs.
## Abstract The present study was designed to yield results that would be used to contribute to the ongoing debate about the mechanism of the __in vitro__ elution of an antibiotic from an antibioticโloaded acrylic bone cement. To this end, the elution rates (__R__) of gentamicin sulfate (expressed
## Abstract Selfโcuring powederโliquid admixed acrylic systems are used for internal fixation of total hip and total knee prostheses. Gel permeation chromatography revealed that the polymer chain length distributions of set cements were basically unaffected by their curing pressures. However, a dec
Revision surgery of cemented implants is indicated when mechanical failure causes severe pain and/or loss of function for the patient. Successful revision arthroplasty of cemented implants requires complete removal of the existing cement. Removal of old cement is an arduous task often causing damage
