Enhanced antibiotic release and biocompatibility with simultaneous addition of N-acetylcysteine and vancomycin to bone cement: a potential replacement for high-dose antibiotic-loaded bone cement

Abstract Background Antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) is crucial for treating orthopedic infections, but its use is limited by suboptimal antibiotic release patterns and potential toxicity. This study explores the dual addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and vancomycin to polymethylmethacrylate (P...
