Abstract:
:Infection incidence for total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA, respectively) is between 0.2% and 5% and results in approximately 100,000 device failures per year in the United States. Treatment requires prolonged systemic antibiotic therapy with additional surgical revisions. As a prophylactic measure against infection, antibiotics can be incorporated into bone cement during THA and TKA to provide drug administration at the implant site. Antibiotics in bone cement are only effective if they can elute out of the cement at a concentration that is active against common organisms. There is evidence that added antibiotics may affect the cement's mechanical properties, especially at higher dosages. The purposes of this investigation were to (i) determine the mechanical properties of a commercially available bone cement with the addition of vancomycin, (ii) determine the release characteristics of vancomycin added to bone cement, and (iii) evaluate eluted vancomycin efficacy at eliminating some of the most common causative orthopedic implant pathogens. Palacos bone cement was impregnated with incrementally larger clinically relevant weight percentages of vancomycin. Vancomycin is a treatment standard for invasive gram-positive infections, and Palacos cement is one of the most commonly used bone cements. After 21 days of curing in PBS, added masses of vancomycin greater than 0.5 g per 40.0 g cement packet decreased the cement's compressive yield strength to below ISO standard. The addition of vancomycin reduced the bone cement's mechanical properties in compression more than in bending. Vancomycin eluted from Palacos with a steady rise in eluted volume up to 8 days, after which non-therapeutic elution concentrations were observed up to a 60-day end point. The eluted concentration from samples with greater than 0.25 g vancomycin per Palacos packet was sufficient to eliminate a 103 colony forming unit per mL (CFU/mL) initial inoculum of S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). However, none of the tested dosages were able to fully clear a 103 CFU/mL initial inoculum of a known high biofilm producing strain of S. epidermidis. When used for infection prophylaxis at the time of THA and TKA, the findings of this study do not support the addition of more than 0.5 g vancomycin to a 40 g packet of Palacos cement due to a reduction in compression yield strength below ISO standards. Vancomycin doses up to 0.5 g were shown to elute from the bone cement matrix and are effective at treating bacterial infections of 103 CFU/mL in bacterial strains of S. aureus, but may have limited effect against high-biofilm producing strains including S. epidermidis.
