Abstract

In chronic bone tissue infections a very effective local antibiotic therapy can be achieved by temporary implantation of Gentamycin-PMMA beads. Eight weeks later the chains were removed and the surrounding specimens of bone were subjected to histological examination. On the basis of the results, it was established that the beads were encapsulated in neutrophile granulocytes, collagen fibers and foreign giant cells.
