Study of family genetic risk for joint implant infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain families have a higher genetic risk for infections around joint implants. It may help researchers understand who is more at risk and how to prevent these infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You belong to a family where past information suggests a high risk of joint implant infections
- You may be asked about family medical history (your family pedigree)
- You can join even if you do not currently have the infection
- You can participate as an unaffected person
- Your relation must be within 3rd-degree (for example, parent, sibling, child; or cousin/uncle depending on how the study defines it)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people who have an infection around a hip, knee, or shoulder implant (prosthesis). It uses standard infection tests (like cultures and blood tests) to confirm the diagnosis and better understand this problem after surgery.
This study is testing a new, advanced lab test that can quickly identify exactly which bacteria are causing a joint implant infection. The goal is to help doctors choose the right antibiotics and improve treatment success.
This trial uses advanced molecular methods to better diagnose infections in hip or knee replacement joints. The goal is to find infections more accurately so you can get the right treatment sooner.
This study is for people who have had a joint replacement and may have an infection around it, or for people getting their first joint replacement. It looks at fluid from the joint to help doctors diagnose infections more accurately.
This trial checks how accurate certain blood tests and joint-fluid (synovial) tests are at identifying infections around hip or knee replacements. It also looks at whether these tests are worth the cost, to help doctors choose the best next step.
This trial tests a way to prevent infections for people getting a hip or knee replacement. It compares different methods to see which works best and may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
