The first causal inference analysis of the Catalan Arthroplasty Register shows a positive effect of antibiotic-loaded bone cement on knee prosthesis survival. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose The survival of a knee prosthesis is one of the most important indicators of the success or failure of a knee arthroplasty. An intervention that could increase prosthetic survival is the use of antibiotic‐loaded bone cement (ALBC) during primary surgery, but the evidence for this is not conclusive.
