Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Antibiotic-loaded bone cement has become a necessary routine method to prevent infection after joint replacement and infection after open fracture as well as to treat chronic osteomyelitis.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research status of polymethyl methacrylate bone cement loaded with antituberculosis drugs.
METHODS: The author used “anti-tuberculosis drugs, polymethyl methacrylate, bone cement” as key words in English and Chinese to retrieve PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, and Springerlink for relevant articles published from 1970 to 2018 as well as to retrieve CNKI and WanFang for relevant articles published from 2010 to 2018. A total of 150 articles were initially retrieved, and 59 articles were finally analyzed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The polymethyl methacrylate bone cement with antituberculosis drugs has good physical properties, strong mechanical strength, stable and sustained release characteristics. It can improve the local drug concentration and play a good antibacterial role, and it also has a good prospect in the treatment of osteoarticular tuberculosis due to low blood concentration, low toxic and side effects, and good safety. However, there are few studies on polymethyl methacrylate bone cement with antituberculosis drugs. It is necessary to comprehensively and systematically study the drug release mechanism, the combined drug loading scheme and the antituberculosis effect of polymethyl methacrylate bone cement loaded with antituberculosis drugs.
