JectOS® versus PMMA vancomycin-loaded cement: The biomechanical and antimicrobial properties
Purpose: Bone cement is commonly used as a void filler for bone defects. Antibiotics can be added to bone cement to increase local drug delivery in eradicating infection. After antibiotic elution, nonbiodegradable material becomes an undesirable agent. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effec...
