Schematic representation of an engineered ceramic scaffold developed for peri-prosthetic infection prevention. The functionalization of the ceramic scaffold with a pectin-chitosan hydrogel allows the control of antibiotic release, inhibits bacterial proliferation and biofilm formation, and promotes osteoblast proliferation.
