- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: There is widespread consensus that adjuvant local use of antimicrobial agents in combination with their systemic administration can better prevent and treat implant-associated musculoskeletal infections. The advantage of local antibiotics lies in their particular pharmacokinetics with initially high antibiotic concentrations at the implant site with only low systemic uptake. AIM OF TREATMENT: The aim of local application is to protect the foreign bodies directly at the implantation site from bacterial colonization and biofilm formation (prophylaxis) and to support the eradication of an already established infection after surgical debridement (treatment). Since the observations of Prof. Buchholz, bone cement has been the most frequently used local carrier system. APPLICATION: In cases of infection, surgeons should ideally work together with microbiologists, infectiologists or clinical pharmacists to determine which anti-infective agents are indicated systemically for the patient and which ones are indicated locally with PMMA cement, based on the pathogen(s) and antibiograms. However, for the anti-infective agents administered with bone cement, there is still uncertainty about which agents can be added to this carrier material and at what concentrations. Accordingly, the authors of this review article not only summarize the rationale and evidence for local antibiotic use but also elaborate on the points that must be considered for admixing these agents to the cement.
