Liquid antibiotics in bone cement
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to compare the elution characteristics, antimicrobial activity and mechanical properties of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) loaded with powdered antibiotic, powdered antibiotic with inert filler (xylitol), or liquid antibiotic, particularly focusing on vancomycin and amphotericin B. METHODS Cement specimens loaded with 2 g of vancomycin or ampho...
متن کاملOrthopaedic bone cement: do we know what we are using?
Bone cements produced by different manufacturers vary in their mechanical properties and antibiotic elution characteristics. Small changes in the formulation of a bone cement, which may not be apparent to surgeons, can also affect these properties. The supplier of Palacos bone cement with added gentamicin changed in 2005. We carried out a study to examine the mechanical characteristics and anti...
متن کاملPmma Bone Cement: What Is the Role of Local Antibiotics
Due to its primary fixation purpose antibiotic loaded bone cement (ALBC) has been classified as a class III medical device according to the CE standard for the fixation of primary or revision implants. Because of the high initial release of local antibiotics into the joint cavity, ALBC has also been successfully used for decades for prophylactic reasons aimed at prevention of bacterial colonisa...
متن کاملCardiac arrest and bone cement.
Correspondence BJOUr that "after many attempts to find any small intact nerves, the search was abandoned." I am sure that in a case of this nature the dye would have enabled him to find most of these small intact nerves. In a personal communication to me on the use of leucomethylene blue to detect the vagal fibres, A. A. Gunn stated that in 65 truncal vagotomies done in 1970, in 54 of these ope...
متن کاملBone cement implantation syndrome.
Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is characterized by hypoxia, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, increased pulmonary vascular resistance and cardiac arrest. It is a known cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cemented orthopaedic surgeries. The rarity of the condition as well as absence of a proper definition has contributed to under-reporting of cases. We report a 59-y...
