Antibiotic injection for knee infection after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics directly into the knee through a small tube can help clear an infection that develops after a knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve the success of a procedure called DAIR, which is used to treat early knee joint infections.

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 new medicine called PLG0206 to help prevent a knee infection from coming back after a procedure to clean the joint while keeping the artificial knee in place. If you qualify, you'll receive the study medicine or a placebo along with standard antibiotics.
This trial tests a new treatment using viruses that attack bacteria (called phages) to fight infections in knee or hip replacements caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It may help people who still have the infection after a surgery to clean the joint, called DAIR.
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.
This trial compares taking antibiotics by mouth versus through an IV line for people who have an infection in their hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well as IV antibiotics after surgery to clean the 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.
