dc.description.abstractThe treatment of bone infections still involves systemic or local antibiotic therapy in high doses for prolonged periods. Current research focuses on the application of different drug delivery systems to the bone, aiming at a targeted local administration that will decrease the number of drugs used and their toxicity, compared to the systemic route. The gold standard in clinical practice is currently poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) cement. The main drawback of PMMA, however, is that it is non-biodegradable, requiring a second follow-up surgery to remove the implant. Biodegradable delivery systems, on the other hand, are easily resorbable within the organism, and less invasive alternative with better patient compliance. Among biodegradable materials, natural and synthetic polymers are being studied as local drug delivery systems due to their excellent biocompatibility, sustained effect, and antibiotic release with high penetrability to infected bone and soft tissue. In this review, we focus on biodegradable polymeric platforms, such as micro- and nanoparticles, scaffolds, and hydrogels, as well as multi-delivery systems for targeting antibiotics to the bone. Additionally, we discuss the reported drug release profiles that provide important information about the systems’ functionality.pt_PT
