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 …

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 …

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 …

Twenty-two patients with deep infection of an hip prosthesis received delayed reimplantation
using bone allografts. Sixteen were done using noncemented components and 6 using …

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 …

Although the incidence of infection associated with hip and knee prostheses is low, with the
increasing number of arthroplasties being carried out, the total number of such cases is …

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 …

Background The use of massive bone allografts in cases of revision of failed total hip
arthroplasties (THAs) due to infection is controversial. Patients and methods 18 patients …
