Prophylaxis and treatment of implant-related infections by local application of antibiotics.

Injury 2006 May
Despite the improvement in surgical technique and implant design in orthopedic and trauma surgery, implant-related infections are still a challenging problem for surgeons. The use of local prophylaxis to avoid infection, such as antibiotic-loaded cement in arthroplasty, gentamicin PMMA beads and gentamicin-collagen sponge in trauma surgery, and antibacterial coating of metal implants, is discussed in the first part of this article.
