CAN WE REALLY RELY ON THE PERIOPERATIVE ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS IN ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT-SURGERIES?
ANTIBIOTICS RELEASED FROM LOCAL CARRIERS PROVIDE A SECOND FRONTLINE OF INFECTION PROPHYLAXIS 4
CATHEGORIES OF LOCAL ANTIBIOTIC CARRIERS Temporary Biodegradable Implants Temporary Nondegredable Implants Bone Substitution / Reconstruction Materials Antibiotic Loaded Fleeces PMMA Chains PMMA Spacers PMMA Rods Permanent Nondegredable Implants Bone Cements Bone Substitution Materials PMMA Rods
PROF. BUCHHOLZ PIONEERED THE USE OF BONE CEMENT AS LOCAL ANTIBIOTIC CARRIER Letter from Buchholz 1969 to Heraeus Kulzer & Merck Prof. Buchholz, former head of the Endoclinic Hamburg Sir John Charnley, UK Nothing leaks out of a stone, my dear Buchholz! 6 27.06.2018

BONE CEMENT AS CARRIER ALLOWS DELIVERY OF HUGE CONCENTRATIONS OF ANTI-INFECTIVE DRUGS INTO THE BONE & JOINT COMPARTMENT Red man syndrome Side effects with local antibiotics are rare even at high amounts 8 27.06.2018
HUGE INTRA-ARTICULAR CONCENTRATIONS OF ANTIBIOTICS RELEASED FROM BONE CEMENT Conclusions the concentrations of gentamicin found inside isolated gaps within 2 h are about 1000 times higher than MICs for staphylococci This may be expected to effectively decontaminate the prosthesis related interfacial gap directly after implantation
EVEN RESISTANT BACTERIA MAY BE KILLED AT HIGH LOCAL ANTIBIOTIC CONCENTRATIONS MIC wildtype 0,5ug/ml MICs 1500 clinical samples Gentamicin in Staphylococcus Coagulase-negative EUCAST data base 2013 initial antibiotic concentrations at bone cement interface
USE OF LOW AND HIGH DOSE ANTIBIOTIC-LOADED BONE CEMENT (ALBC) Use of ALBC Primary arthroplasty Septic revision arthroplasty Routine Prophylaxis Special Prophylaxis & Treatment Low-dose ALBC empirical use of a broadspectrum antibiotic High-dose ALBC targeted use of antibiotic combinations 11 27.06.2018
HOW TO PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANT BACTERIA ON BONE CEMENT IN SEPTIC REVISIONS? Insufficient debridement Nonappropriate antibiotics Bacterial (re)colonization A priori resistant germs Insufficient antibiotic elution 12 27.06.2018
