Cover Story: Infection remains a major cause for revision total joint replacement surgery, and the number of infections is rising. The treatment options still face challenges due to the lack of bone void fillers for providing both bone growth support as well as simultaneous controlled drug release at the implantation site. In the reported study, a biodegradable polymer–ceramic hybrid bone void filler was developed and endowed with a polymer controlled, antibiotic release strategy. The resulting putty-like composition not only provided antibiotic release for six weeks at therapeutic concentration but also supported bone regrowth when tested in a rat osteomyelitic model.
