The fatigue properties of Simplex P and Palacos R bone cements were compared to their antibiotic impregnated counterparts AKZ' and Palacos R with gentamycin.+ The effect of porosity reduction by centrifugation of all four cement types was also assessed. Fifteen specimens of each cement type were pre
## Abstract The antibiotic release from and the bacteria growth inhibition by antibioticโloaded acrylic bone cement hip spacers were studied. The cement used was Palacos R, and it was loaded with either one antibiotic powder (gentamicin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, or synercid) [monoantibiotic case] o
