Abstract
By means of seven exemplary cases the use of gentamicin-containing pol ymethyl-methacrylat-implantations (Septopal-10-minichains(TM)) for the treatment of infections of soft tissues and bones in rabbits and guin ea pigs was tested. It appeared that by this treatment even in refract ory cases a clinical and baxteriological healing can be obtained. A di sadvantage of this form of therapy are the very high costs.
