Vancomycin powder plus bone graft to prevent spine surgery infection
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing vancomycin powder and your own bone graft during spine fusion surgery can lower the chance of infection after surgery. It’s meant for people having instrumented spine fusion after other treatments haven’t helped.
