Hydrogel Coating versus Calcium Sulphate Beads as a Local Antibiotic Carrier for Debridement Procedures in Acute Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Preliminary Study

Hydrogel Coating versus Calcium Sulphate Beads as a Local Antibiotic Carrier for Debridement Procedures in Acute Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Preliminary Study

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are among the most difficult complications to treat in orthopaedic surgery. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) represent an efficient strategy for acute PJI, especially when resorbable local antibiotic carriers and coatings are used. The aim...
