Human lyophilized bruised costal cartilage was tested in vitro for its ability to act as a carrier medium for antibiotics. A remarkable capacity of accumulating streptomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, vancomycin and ciprofloxacin was observed; whereas beta-lactum antibiotics and fosfomycin were released at a high rate. This release pattern was not influenced by the sterilization procedure, but rather by the size of the cartilage granula. Lyophilized cartilage--rehydrated in antibiotic-solutions--be helpful adjunct in the surgical management of osseous infections.
