Osteomyelitis of the proximal portion of the tibia was consistently produced in the dog by the instillation of a suspension of Staphylococcus aureus about an intramedullary foreign body consisting of acrylic bone cement. The clinical, histological and roentgenographic manifestations of the infectious process were consistent with those of subacute osteomyelitis, such as may be encountered in infections following total joint arthroplasty. The osteomyelitic process persisted in 6 of the 7 tibiae even after removal of the acrylic bone cement. Using this model, gentamicin-impregnated acrylic bone cement (Palacos) prevented the development of osteomyelitis in 9 of 10 tibia that were concomitantly exposed to S. aureus in concentrations ranging from 1 .times. 103 to 1 .times. 109 organisms. Palacos in bulk form was ineffective in the treatment of 3 of 5 tibia in which osteomyelitis caused by S. aureus was already established.
