Orthopedic implant failure is the most common complication of orthopedic surgery, causing serious trauma and resulting in a tremendous economic burden for patients. There are many reasons for implant failure, among which peri-implant infection (or implant-related infection) and aseptic loosening are the most important. At present, orthopedic doctors have many methods to treat these complications, such as revision surgery, which have shown good results. However, if peri-implant infection can be prevented, this will bring about significant social benefits. Many studies have focused on adding antibacterial substances to the implant coating, and with a deeper understanding of the mechanism of implant failure, adding such substances by different modification methods has become a research hot spot. This review aims to summarize the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory substances that can be used as coating materials in orthopedic implants and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of implant failure caused by implant-related infection and excessive inflammation.

Background- Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is defined as pain associated with erythema, induration, local tenderness, pus discharge or any culture positive or negative discharge from a surgically created wound. Methods- Descriptive type of Observational study conducted on Patients in the department of Orthopaedics. Results- 6.00% patients have wound infection.    Gram positive 83.33% patients have found with Staph. Aureus and Gram- negative 16.67% patients have found with Pseudomonas. Conclusion- Infection in closed fractures with implants was quite high. The adverse outcome of SSIs related to a clean orthopedic surgical procedure can be associated with significant morbidity, cost, and even mortality.  Keywords- SSI, Closed, Implants

Poor osseointegration and bacterial infection are major causes of orthopedic implant failure. Both problems arise from passive unspecific protein coating that may not optimally support adhesion of osteoblastic cells and which enable bacterial adhesion that subsequently results in biofilm formation. This review addresses emerging concepts of preventing unspecific protein adsorption and biofilm formation by organic coating systems. We especially focus on recent concepts that additionally allow functionalization for preferential cell adhesion using cell adhesion mediating small peptide sequences that do not induce bacterial adherence. One promising approach that is presented and discussed within this context is the use of NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO).

Methods: Hospital based Descriptive type of Observational study conducted on Patients in the department of Orthopaedics. Results: Total 5.00% patients have wound infection. Gram positive 80.00% patients have found with Staph. Aureus and Gram negative 20.00%patients have found with Pseudomonas. Conclusion: Infection in closed fractures with implants was quite high. The adverse outcome of SSIs related to a clean orthopedic surgical procedure can be associated with significant morbidity, cost, and even mortality. Keywords: Infection, SSI, Fracture
