Purpose Surgical procedures to prevent osteomyelitis after trauma can be supported by local application of antibiotics. This in-vitro study investigated the release and impact of antibiotics from implant coatings against bacteria associated with combat-related osteomyelitis.Methods K-wires were coated with poly(D, L-lactide) and ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, colistin, daptomycin or cefoxitin in different concentrations. The release was quantified and antimicrobial activity tested for different gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, alone and in combination. To exclude toxic effects, primary osteoblast-like cells were exposed to antibiotic coating concentrations.Results All antibiotics alone and in combination showed an initial burst release with dose dependent antimicrobial activity and no negative effects on osteoblast-like cells, except for cefoxitin.Conclusions Implant coatings can be customized with single or double antibiotic coatings to effectively fight different bacteria and also mixed infections in the treatment of a combat-acquired osteomyelitis. However, optimal drug load and degradation behaviour of individual antibiotics have to be considered.
