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 Although antibioticβloaded bone cement (ALBC) is used as a drug delivery vehicle to decrease infection rates, the varied clinical effect of the antibiotic release remains controversial. The objective of this study is to investigate the enhancement of continuous wave ultrasound (CWU) on
## Abstract Bacterial adhesion to and βpersistence on antibioticβloaded bone cement is an increasing problem. New antibiotics with good antimicrobial and pharmacokinetic properties (e.g. linezolid) may be the solution to this problem; however, few data concerning linezolidβloaded acrylic cement are
## Abstract It has been suggested in the literature that a lower polymerization rate of an acrylic bone cement is favorable for the __in vivo__ longevity of a cemented arthroplasty. The present work was a study of the influence of three changes in the composition of an acrylic bone cement (when tak
