Properties of erythromycin‐loaded polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate bone graft substitute

A self‐setting, injectable polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate bone graft substitute that is mechanically strong and has excellent cohesion was developed. We assessed the performance of erythromycin‐loaded polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate cement. Its properties include drug release, growth inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and biocompatibility with osteoblastic MC3T3 cells. The impact of erythromycin loading on cement...
