This review aimed to summarize the current literature on antibiotic distribution in orthopedically relevant tissues and settings where dynamic sampling methods have been used. PubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched. English-published studies between 2004 and 2024 involving systemic antibiotic administration in orthopedically relevant tissues and settings based on dynamic measurements were included.

The isolation of MSCs is usually performed by enzymatic digestion and requires variable times for cell expansion. In addition, these procedures need to be performed in specialized laboratory facilities.

This study evaluates the preclinical efficacy of local single- and dual-antibiotic therapy against implant-associated osteomyelitis (IAO) using a drug-eluting depot technology, CarboCell, that provides sustained release of high-dose antibiotics and allows for strategic placement in relation to infectious lesions. Clindamycin and gentamicin were formulated in CarboCell compositions.
