Authors' objectives:
This rapid review aimed to determine the safety and effectiveness of antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) versus plain bone cement for primary knee arthroplasty.
Authors' recommendations:
Based on very low quality evidence, 2 randomized controlled trials identified significantly lower infection rates with antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) versus plain bone cement among patients with and without diabetes receiving primary total knee arthroplasty.
Based on very low quality of evidence, 1 observational study found no significant difference between patients receiving ALBC versus plain bone cement for primary knee arthroplasty.
