Abstract
A method and equipment for producing an antibiotic loaded knee prothesis by custom molding a femoral prothesis in a removable mold from a settable material containing a selected antibiotic, applying the molded prothesis to the distal end of the femur, completing the set of the material to anchor the prothesis to the femur and removing the removable mold. Next a tibial prothesis is custom molded in a second removable mold from a settable material containing a selected antibiotic, the material set and the so formed tibial prothesis is removed from the second mold and is then connected to the proximal end of the tibia in a position to form an articulating joint with the previously molded and applied femoral prothesis.
