Özet

Objective: The treatment of the implant related spinal infection requires long-term antibiotic use and causes prolonged hospital stay; even then in some cases the treatment goals cannot be achieved. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of TiO2-coated screws for the treatment of the implant-associated infections in rat spines.
