  • Abstract
    As with all surgical procedures, implantation comes with the added risk of infection. The inability of antibacterial therapy to treat persistent infection demonstrates the need for a more advanced therapeutic approach. The goal of this study was to explore the use of iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IOMN) to inhibit bacteria biofilm formation and promote bone growth at the site of prosthetic infection.
