Short summary
Despite potential pharmacokinetic advantages, the local application of antibiotics in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections has so far been associated with bad outcomes. This study shows a major advantage for the local application of antibiotics with calcium sulfate as the carrier material in the implant-retaining treatment of a periprosthetic joint infection of the hip.
