Gentamicincoated tibial nail is an effective prevention method for fracture-related infections in open tibial fractures.

Unlabelled: Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a common complication following open tibia fracture (OTF), especially in patients with high-energy trauma or comorbidities. The use of gentamicin-coated nail (GCN) has been proposed as a local adjuvant to prevent FRI in high-risk patients.

Hypothesis: The incidence of FRI is expected to be lower in OTF treated with a GCN, alongside with no detrimental effects on fracture healing time.

Betamethasone inhibits tumor development, microvessel density and prolongs survival in mice with a multiresistant adenocarcinoma TA3.

Tumor resistance to traditional cancer treatments poses an important challenge to modern science. Thus, angiogenesis inhibition is an important emerging cancer treatment. Many drugs are tested and corticosteroids have shown interesting results.
