Abstract

Implant-associated infections frequently complicate orthopedic surgeries, resulting in challenging issues. The current therapy of antibiotic treatment and surgical debridement often leads to drug resistance and bone defect. The development of pH-responsive antimicrobial and pro-osteogenic materials is a promising approach to controlling infections and repairing infected bone defects, especially given the weakly acidic pH of the bacterial infection area. Solid peroxides have the potential to provide a sustained release of hydrogen peroxide (H
