Core Tip
Core Tip: Routine use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement in cemented hemiarthroplasties of femoral neck fracture patients has the potential of reducing the infection risk to a significant degree. This measure should be considered on top of the implementation of strict protocols of special pre-, peri- and postoperative orthogeriatric care
