This study was performed to investigate the potential utility of ofloxacin-impregnated bioabsorbable polymers for osteomyelitis therapy. Pseudomonas aeruginosa osteomyelitis was induced in 48 New Zealand White rabbits. Four weeks after infection, the animals were randomized to one of four treatment
## Abstract Osteomyelitis was induced in the radius in 77 rabbits and confirmed by histological examination and culture. At 4 weeks, the wounds were debrided and the animals were treated with (a) fatty acid dimersebacic acid beads (a bioerodable composite) impregnated with 20% or (b) 10% gentamicin
## Abstract Fluconazole poly(D,Lโlactic) acid (PLA) and poly(Lโlactic) acid (LโPLA) implantable delivery rods were studied, __in vitro__ and __in vivo__, as an alternative treatment of fungal osteomyelitis. Implantable rods loaded with 5% fluconazole (FLU) were prepared by the injectionโmolding met
