Microbiology-focused choice of joint prosthetic material
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial focuses on using lab testing (microbiology) to help choose the best material for a prosthetic used in orthopedic treatment. If you need a prosthetic, this could help doctors select a material more tailored to your situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a prosthetic (an artificial joint or part) as part of orthopedic care
- Your doctors say you truly need treatment with a prosthetic (there is a clear medical reason)
- You do not lack an indication for treatment (you are not being considered “just in case”)
- You’re able to go through the study’s basic clinical and lab testing steps

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 tests how different antibiotic combinations affect the bacteria in your gut and the risk of infection with hard-to-treat bacteria. It is for people who need surgery for a joint replacement or bone infection.
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 trial is trying to find out if the bacteria in your gut can predict whether your knee or hip replacement will get infected or fail early. It recruits people who are already having a knee replacement or a revision surgery for a broken or infected joint, and who also have an imbalance in their gut bacteria.
This trial looks for bacteria around the implant in patients who need surgery for a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement. It aims to learn if these infections affect healing.
This study looks at how well the gum tissue “takes” around dental implants when different implant materials are used. It may help improve outcomes for people who need replacement teeth.
