While I need to digest this trial, I'm very excited using biomaterials to treat musculoskeletal infections!

In a randomized trial involving adults who received local antibiotics during surgery for orthopedic infection, a short duration of systemic antibiotics was noninferior to a long duration regarding treatment failure at 12 months. Full SOLARIO trial results: nej.md/4dgrqwY
