Spinal medicine for knee infection after replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine given through a small tube in your spine to help with pain and infection after a knee replacement. It is for people who have signs of infection in their new knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- It has been at least 3 weeks since you had a total knee replacement.
- You have at least one sign of infection, like redness, swelling, pain, or fever.
- A joint fluid test showed a very high white blood cell count (over 50,000 cells per microliter).
- You are willing to have a blood test 3 months after starting the trial.

This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent another infection in people who have had a hip or knee replacement that became infected. If you are scheduled for revision surgery due to an infection, this study may be a good fit.
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.
This trial looks at infections in hip, knee, or shoulder replacements in people who needed critical care and later passed away. It aims to learn from their medical information to better prevent and treat similar infections.
This trial checks how accurate certain blood tests and joint-fluid (synovial) tests are at identifying infections around hip or knee replacements. It also looks at whether these tests are worth the cost, to help doctors choose the best next step.
This study follows people who have an infection around a hip, knee, or shoulder implant (prosthesis). It uses standard infection tests (like cultures and blood tests) to confirm the diagnosis and better understand this problem after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving an antibiotic (PCA) before surgery to clean out an infected knee replacement can help. It's for people who have had a knee replacement and now have signs of infection.
