## Abstract The rates of elution of tobramycin __in vitro__ were compared for polymethylmethacrylate beads impregnated with the powder form and an alternative biodegradable substance, sponge collagen. The impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads initially had a lower zone of inhibition, but the rat
An experimental biodegradable bone cement [poly(propylene fumarate)-methylmethacrylate] (PPF-MMA) has been compared in vivo with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as a carrier agent for local release of antibiotics. This approach is potentially applicable to the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis where
## 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
