Antibiotics through a tube for knee implant infection after DAIR surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics directly into the knee through a small tube after a cleaning surgery (DAIR) can better treat an infection around a knee replacement. It is for people who still have their original knee implant and are having this specific surgery.

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 if a new drug called PLG0206 can stop a knee joint infection from coming back after a surgery called DAIR. DAIR cleans the infected area and keeps the artificial knee in place, and this study wants to see if adding PLG0206 helps prevent the infection from returning.
This trial tests different antibiotic types and durations, plus surgical approaches, for people with a current joint infection in a hip or knee. It aims to find the best way to treat the infection and prevent it from coming back.
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 tests if a contrast agent used in ultrasound can help surgeons see pockets of infection around knee implants during revision surgery. It may help doctors do a better job cleaning out the infection.
This trial tests a new antibiotic, TNP-2092, given as a shot directly into the knee joint for people with a persistent infection after knee replacement. It is for those whose infection is caused by certain bacteria and who are willing to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks.
