Local antibiotic delivery with antibiotic loaded acrylic bone cement has been used extensively in the management of chronic osteomyelitis and implant related infections. Though newer drug delivery vehicles are being investigated, it remains the most widely used local antibiotic delivery vehicle in orthopaedic surgery. Self-made antibiotic loaded bone cement beads, which are cheaper and antibiotic specific, have been shown to elute less effectively than commercial antibiotic loaded cement beads. We offer several tips for increasing the elution and effectiveness of antibiotic loaded bone cement in clinical practice.

J Indian Prosthodont Soc
January 2025
Department of Prosthodontics and Implantology, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Aim: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the marginal fit of various three-dimensional (3D) printed and milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) dental prostheses.
Settings And Design: The study was conducted in an in vitro study setting.
Materials And Methods: With a sample size of 45 for each fabrication method, this investigation compared the marginal fit of milled (Group 1) and 3D printed (Group 2) PMMA dental prostheses across different designs.
The 'Japanese paradox' of total hip arthroplasty: where are we going?
Expert Rev Med Devices

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.

Aims: There is compelling evidence for the use of cemented hip hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures; however, the risks of cement are well reported and in rare cases may be associated with haemodynamic collapse. It is therefore important to improve our understanding of haemodynamic instability, intraoperative monitoring, and strategies to reduce the risk to patients.
Methods: We measured arterial blood pressure using the LiDCO Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure (CNAP) finger cuff during surgery in patients enrolled in the WHiTE 5 trial randomized to cemented or modern uncemented hip hemiarthroplasty at a single recruiting site.
Efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty using cross-puncture in the treatment of Genant grade 0-1 osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a common surgical method for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCFs). The puncture method and location of the puncture needle can directly affect bone cement distribution in the vertebra. This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of PVP using the cross-puncture and bilateral conventional puncture for the treatment of Genant grade 0-1 OVCFs.
