The addition of antibiotic to cement is a frequent practice in aseptic revision hip surgery
There is concern about adding vancomycin to cement due to potential effects on mechanical …

Bone allografts can store and release high levels of vancomycin. We present our results of a
two-stage treatment for infected hip arthroplasty with acetabular and femoral impaction …

Periprosthetic deep infection in combination with substantial bone loss is one of the most
challenging situations in revision hip surgery. We believe the effective management of these …

We explored the role of vancomycin-supplemented cancellous bone allografts in hip
revision surgery. We evaluated the incorporation of these allografts in 18 pigs' radiographs …

Vancomycin-supplemented allografts provide biological restoration of bone stock and sound
fixation with a low incidence of re-infection. Experimental incorporation of these grafts is …

Background Cancellous bone can act as a delivery vehicle for vancomycin without
impairment of graft incorporation. However, local and systemic antibiotic levels, biological …

Infection of a total hip replacement (THR) requires component removal and thorough local
debridement. Usually, long-term antibiotic treatment in conjunction with a two-stage revision …

Background The purpose of this clinical investigation was to evaluate the systemic
bioavailability of antibiotics from bone cement after implantation. This was done by …

A two-stage procedure was carried out on 57 patients with confirmed infection in a hip
replacement. Allograft bone was used in the second stage. Pathogenic organisms were …

Twenty-two patients with infected total hip arthroplasty were treated with 2-stage
arthroplasty, using a cement spacer impregnated with a combination of 3 thermostable …
