Antibiotics in ACL reconstruction: vein vs. vein plus soaked graft
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods for preventing infection during ACL reconstruction surgery. One group gets antibiotics through a vein, and the other group gets antibiotics through the vein plus a special antibiotic-soaked graft placed in the knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an ACL injury that limits your daily activities or sports.
- You have not had ACL reconstruction surgery before (this is your first ACL surgery).
- You do not have an inflammatory rheumatological condition (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
- You are willing to take part in the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of giving a common antibiotic before a revision knee replacement: either directly into the bone at the ankle or through an IV. The goal is to see if the bone injection works better at preventing infection, which might lead to better outcomes.
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 study tests whether giving the antibiotic vancomycin through a small needle in the bone instead of a vein is safe and works well during total ankle replacement surgery. It may help you if you are having this surgery and want to prevent infection in a new way.
This study tests giving antibiotics (cefazolin and vancomycin) through a small needle into the shin bone during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if this way of giving antibiotics works well to prevent infection.
This study looks at ways to lower the risk of infection after knee replacement surgery (with or without vancomycin, an antibiotic). If you’re a good candidate, you may receive an approach aimed at preventing post-surgery infections and related complications.
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.
