Published results showed the type of anesthetic regimen used during cemented hemiarthroplasty was markedly associated with development of bone cement implantation syndrome.
Antibiotic-loaded vs. plain bone cement yield similar revision rates for PJI after TKA
Published results showed antibiotic-loaded bone cement may not be warranted for prophylaxis with total knee arthroplasty due to the additional cost and similar rates of revision for periprosthetic joint infection vs. plain bone cement.
