Article Synopsis
- Infection is a major reason for failure in total joint arthroplasty, leading to a need for improved antibacterial materials as antibiotic resistance grows.
- The study investigates the effects of borate bioactive glass (13-93-B3) in PMMA bone cement, finding that it significantly reduces bacterial growth compared to neutral borate bioactive glass and PMMA alone.
- The results suggest that borate bioactive glass has antimicrobial properties, making it a promising solution for preventing infections in joint replacements.
