Implant-related infections are unfortunately a common seen complication. The infection rates of these procedures vary from less than 1% in primary total arthroplasty procedures to 5% in revision surgery and even up to 16% in trauma surgery after severe open fractures [3–5]. Implant-related infections are associated with high morbidity, high mortality, and high costs because these kind of infections are difficult to treat [6]. Major difficulties in treatment of these infections are the protective biofilms formed on the surface of the orthopedic implants by microorganisms resulting in natural defence against antibiotics and the natural host response.

Despite the effective bone regeneration of autografts and allografts, these methods are associated with some disadvantages, respectively, limited availability and donor morbidity in autograft procedures or disease transmission or bacterial infection in allograft procedures [37,38]. Therefore, the use and applicability of biomaterials, that is, bone graft substitutes, are becoming increasingly important. Concerning bone regeneration and biomaterials, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties are important and frequently used terms.
