Background: Infection in orthopedic surgeries is a serious complication mostly resulting in removal of infected implant. But recently, with use of antibiotic loaded polymethylmethacrylate, attempts have been made to prevent and cure orthopedic implant infections in primary and revision surgeries. In this study, the role of antibiotic impregnated bone cement in management of infection in infected implant (nailing or plating used for internal fixation of fractures) with implant retained in situ is studied and compared with other modalities of treatment where antibiotic bone cement was not used. This study aims to assess the role of antibiotic impregnated bone cement to control infection in postoperative patients with implant in situ (Nailing and Plating).
