Abstract

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Perioperative and latent infections are leading causes of revision surgery for orthopedic devices resulting in significant increased patient care, comorbidities and costs. This is a growing problem due to the rising antibiotic resistance of nosocomial bacteria to germicidal therapies. Considerable research has targeted the selection and development of biomaterials that may inherently reduce or eliminate implant-related infections.
