In vitro testing of silver-containing spacer in periprosthetic infection management

Abstract Deep infection is a serious complication in endoprosthetic surgery. In correlation to the patient local or systemic compromising factors conservative and surgical proceedings has to be evaluated. Systemic antibiotic therapy is the gold standard in infection management. Implanted silver-coat...
