| Core Tip |
Orthopaedic implant-related infections, including prosthetic joint and osteosynthesis-associated infections, significantly burden healthcare systems clinically and economically. Defensive antibacterial coating (DAC®) hydrogel emerges as a promising bioresorbable adjunct to traditional prophylactic strategies, effectively reducing infection rates and antibiotic overuse in orthopaedic surgery. While robust evidence supports DAC® in revision arthroplasty and trauma surgery, further high-quality studies are needed to confirm its role in primary joint replacement and expand applications to diverse patient populations and anatomical sites. |
