Abstract

Gentamycin-loaded cement from 16 patients undergoing revision of hip arthroplasty was studied. Samples removed at surgery were analyzed for gentamicin using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Seventy-eight (55-98) per cent of the gentamicin was retained within the cement after 24 (1-48) months.
