Antibiotic bone graft to prevent infection in hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding antibiotics to the bone graft used during hip replacement surgery can lower the risk of infection. It may help people who need a bone graft as part of their hip replacement.

This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This trial tests whether putting antibiotics directly inside the bone during surgery can improve outcomes for an infected knee prosthesis when the implant is being kept. It may help more people avoid needing full implant removal and replacement.
This trial tests whether using vancomycin on the skin helps prevent infections after elective hip (THA) or knee (TKA) replacement for osteoarthritis. If you qualify, you’d be asked to follow up for about a year to check safety and infection rates.
This trial tests an antibiotic “graft” placed into or near infected bone cavities around a knee replacement (TKA) to help new bone grow. You may be considered if you have an infected knee implant area and can safely take part in follow-up visits and treatment.
This study tests a new way to deliver antibiotics directly into the bone during knee replacement surgery to prevent infection. Vancomycin is injected into the bone marrow instead of through an IV, which may help protect the surgical site better.
This trial is testing the antibiotic vancomycin to prevent infections after total knee replacement. It may help if you are having your first knee replacement and are not severely overweight or diabetic.
