Abstract

Antibiotic-coated implants are increasing in prevalence in the treatment of fracture-related infections. Coated plates may be desirable in certain anatomic locations or to augment nail fixation. We describe a simple, reproducible technique for the fabrication of antibiotic-coated plates and our initial results of a small case series.
