“…With the increasingly evident trend of an aging population, the incidence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is gradually rising, and the importance of total joint replacement (TJR) is becoming more and more critical for middle-aged and elderly patients with KOA. In TJR surgery, poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a commonly used artificial joint fixation material, which has high compressive strength and elastic modulus, playing a crucial role in the orthopedic implantation process, such as supporting orthopedic implants and transmitting mechanical stress and loads between metal implants and host bone. It is usually bonded to the host bone by mechanical anchoring. However, aseptic loosening of artificial joints is the most common middle- and late-stage (about 3–10 years) complication after joint replacement surgery, with possible mechanisms including (i) PMMA lacks biological activity, and thus its failure to anchor to the host bone leads to prosthesis loosening; (ii) osteoporosis causes bone loss, leading to loosening of the PMMA and bone interface; and (iii) aseptic inflammation causes bone resorption, resulting in the failure of the PMMA anchoring function.…”

“…10%) as well as, to a lesser extent, from difficult-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (<10%) including the pseudomonas strain. Periprosthetic joint surgeries are associated with a low but significant (1–2%) incidence of infection (PTI), but the associated morbidity and rehospitalization costs are very high [ 1 ]. Revision methods for treating such infections usually involve the surgical removal of the implant, debridement, and the insertion of an antibiotic drug-loaded “spacer” implant made from poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement for up to six weeks.…”
