    AbstractAuthors describe a new method of treatment for bone and soft tissue infections using polymethyl methacrylate balls containing Gentamycin. Advantages of this method can be summarized in 3 points: 1. From the patients point of view saving the rinsing-sucking drainage, early mobilisation etc. 2. From nursing point of view a significant facilitation of the patient's care. 3. From the hospital management's point of view: improved hygienic conditions by eliminating the possible infections related to a rinsing-sucking wet system. Cutting down hospital expences both by abbreviation of the time of hospitalization and saving on expensive antibiotics.
