Abstract
Orthopedic implant is commonly associated with occurrence or relapse of osteomyelitis. This study developed a hydrofluoric acid (HF) cleaned silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) implant Si 3 N 4 _AC for osteomyelitis control and established a rat tibial osteomyelitis model to evaluate its efficacy on eradicating periprosthetic infection and enhancing bone regeneration. In vitro studies revealed Si 3 N 4 _AC had improved biocompatibility and inhibited...
