Abstract

The prevalence of joint replacement procedures has increased by more than 119% in the last decade and as a result the demand for a prosthesis is very likely to increase. Uncemented prosthesis is the first-choice treatment option for patients under 68, due to its long-term and more stable fixation. The two major limitations that lead to the failure of joint replacement surgery are a prosthetic joint infection and aseptic loosening. To counter these limitations this study aimed to develop a novel composite system with dual functionality for prophylaxis from postsurgical inflammation and infection. The system is versatile safe to use in in-vitro.
