## Abstract The use of antibioticβimpregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement beads for the local delivery of antibiotics in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis has become a standard orthopaedic practice. The increasing resistance to antibiotics of organisms associated with orthopaedic infe

The current antibiotics delivery system for orthopedic infection treatment uses polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads as a drug release. However the nonbiodegradable nature of the PMMA necessitates a second operation to remove the beads. This article explores the alternative of using biodegradable pol
## Abstract The influence of porosity on release profiles of antibiotics from calcium phosphate composites was investigated to optimize the duration of treatment. We hypothesized, that by the encapsulation of vancomycinβHCl into biodegradable microspheres prior admixing to calcium phosphate bone ce
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite cement was investigated __in situ__ for the reconstruction of juxtaβarticular defects. Polymethylmethacrylate is currently the most commonly used material for the reconstruction of bone defects following the exteriorization and curettage of aggressive benign tumors. __In
