The effect of N-acetylcysteine on mechanical fatigue resistance of antibiotic-loaded bone cement

Abstract Background This biomechanical study evaluates the effect of N-acetylcysteine alone and in combination with the most commonly used antibiotic-loaded bone cement mixtures. Methods We mixed eight bone cement mixture groups including combinations of N-acetylcysteine, gentamicin, teicoplanin, an...
