Antibiotic plans and outcomes after two-stage joint revision
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how antibiotic treatment (especially the course length and approach) relates to infection control and results after a two-step surgery for joint infections. If you’ve had a spacer placed, finished at least 6 weeks of antibiotics, and then had the second surgery, the research team may want to follow your outcomes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with a joint infection using standard MSIS criteria
- You had the first operation with a spacer, then finished at least 6 weeks of antibiotics
- Your doctors determined the infection was controlled, and you had the second (revision) surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- You agree to take part, can handle study visits/tests, and signed consent
- You must have follow-up information available and be able to follow the study plan

This study compares two antibiotic plans for acute (early) infections around an artificial knee or hip, using a procedure to clean the joint and try to keep the implant. It may help find the best approach to control infection and then prevent it from coming back with longer-term antibiotic treatment.
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.
This study looks at whether certain biomarkers can predict how well patients do after a two-stage revision surgery for a joint infection. If you have a joint replacement that got infected and need this surgery, you might be able to join.
This trial studies how antibiotics reach the knee joint after a temporary antibiotic spacer is placed. It may help improve treatment for people having two-stage surgery for a knee prosthesis infection.
This study is testing a new way to measure how well antibiotics reach the infected area around a hip implant during a two-stage replacement surgery. If you are already planning this surgery, researchers want to see if the levels of antibiotics in the spacer are high enough to fight the infection.
This trial compares two types of antibiotic spacers for people with a long-term knee replacement infection. It tests whether a spacer made entirely of antibiotic cement or one with a metal core works better to treat the infection before a new knee replacement.
