The results of bacteriological tests of Palacos R cement with antibiotic directly after its obtaining and 3 and 6 months after implantation in rabbit organism have been presented in this work. The results of tests of mechanical characteristics of cement with and without antibiotic samples after being kept in physiological saline for 3 to 6 weeks have also been presented. Bacteriological tests prove that antibiotic (III generation cephalosporin) added to surgical cement retain its bacteriostatic properties. When tested on rabbits cement plus antibiotic retains its bacteriostatic properties only in the initial period. Kep of the Palacos R cement with and without III generation cephalosporin in physiological saline insignificantly decreased the strength properties as compared to respective values of dry cement strength and did not lead to any loss of its visco-elasticity.

Does Cement Viscosity Impact Antibiotic Elution and In Vitro Efficacy Against Common Prosthetic Joint Infection Pathogens?
Clin Orthop Relat Res

Background: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) is commonly used in total joint arthroplasty to treat and potentially prevent prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Multiple properties impact the elution characteristics of antibiotics from PMMA-based ALBC, including viscosity. What is not known is how medium-viscosity cement formulations affect antibiotic elution and how different cement products from different manufacturers compare regarding reaching the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics for common PJI-causing organisms in an in vitro setting.

Background: Application time and viscosity are factors that can significantly affect the properties of bone cement and implant fixation. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different application times of 2 different cements on mechanical parameters, cement interdigitation, and cement distribution.

Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can have disastrous consequences for patient health, including removal of the device, and placement of cemented implants is often required during surgery to eradicate PJIs. In translational research, in vivo models are widely used to assess the biocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy of antimicrobial coatings and compounds. Here, we aim to utilize implant infection models to assess the antimicrobial activity of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) implants.

Multi-modal analgesia is the present standard of pain management after TKA. Studies show that with multi-modal analgesia, approximately 60% of patients experience severe knee pain following surgery, while around 30% experience moderate pain.

Aims: Refobacin Bone Cement R and Palacos + G bone cement were introduced to replace the original cement Refobacin Palacos R in 2005. Both cements were assumed to behave in a biomechanically similar fashion to the original cement. The primary aim of this study was to compare the migration of a polished triple-tapered femoral stem fixed with either Refobacin Bone Cement R or Palacos + G bone cement.
