Brief description/objective
Antibiotic impregnation of cartilage implants may reduce the risk of bacterial infection and subsequent absorption. The aim of this study was to investigate the penetration kinetics of two quinolone antibiotics into fresh cartilage and the concentrations in the core of lyophilized cartilage after rehydration.
