contiguous with a pressure ulcer
or adjacent abscess

Antibiotic Treatment
No consensus
2 weeks – 6 weeks of IV antibiotics THEN
6 weeks – 8 weeks of Oral Regimen
as long as there are no signs of impending sepsis
or limb loss, it is worthwhile stopping antibiotic
treatment 1 to 2 weeks before surgical
intervention so that more precise and reliable
bacterial identification is possible.
Begin an empirical course of antibiotics
intraoperatively after all the cultures have been
taken and continue until the culture results are
available
Surgical Management
Process of elution
allows for high local concentrations of antibiotic
with little systemic absorption
Antibiotic release is biphasic with most occurring
during the first few days to weeks after
implantation
only the outer 1 cm or so of large-volume depots
will elute antibiotic
Depot Antibiotics
1 and 2 g of vancomycin
1.2 to 2.4 g of tobramycin per bag
Gentamycin
