EFORT: Intraossesous regional vancomycin effective for antibiotic tissue levels in TKA

30 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomized to one of three groups for antibiotic prophylaxis: 1g intravenous (IV) vancomycin, 250mg intraosseous regional administration (IORA) vancomycin, and 500mg IORA vancomycin. Subcutaneous fat and femoral bone samples were collected throughout the procedure and assessed for antibiotic concentration.
