摘要: Background and purpose Late infections after total hip arthroplasty are still a problem. Treatment procedures include resection with implantation of antibiotic-loaded beads or an antibiotic-impreganted spacer. However, little is known about antibiotic elution from bone cement beyond the first 2–3 postoperative days in humans.Methods 17 spacers (80g PMMA, 1g gentamicin, 4 g vancomycin) 11 chains (40 0.5 2 28 patients were studied. The release both agents was measured drainage fluid on daily basis. drains left situ until less than 50 mL produced per day. antibiotics determined by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Systemic given postoperatively according to antibiogram. If possible, no gentamicin vancomycin given.Results Peak mean concentrations reached for (1,160 (12–371) µg/mL 21 (0.7–39) µg/mL, respec...
