Review demonstrates the clinical utility of local antibiotic delivery in musculoskeletal infections, highlighting novel carrier materials and modernized treatment concepts.
Abstract 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the development of the antibiotic loaded PMMA chain. The loading of bone cements with antibiotics was a major advance in the treatment of musculoskeletal infections and is still a proven standard today. The research and use of novel antibiotic carriers continues to be an important part of research in the context of musculoskeletal infections. The article provides an overview of the various local antibiotics available and their specifics. In addition, current adapted treatment concepts are discussed.
