A paper test to diagnose orthopedic infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new paper-based device to quickly diagnose infections after joint replacement or spine surgery. It may help avoid delays from standard lab tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had a joint replacement or spine surgery
- You have clear signs of infection, as defined by your doctor
- You have been off antibiotics for at least 2 weeks before testing
- Your doctor can take a tissue or fluid sample of at least 1 milliliter

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 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 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 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 study looks at whether certain biomarkers can predict how well patients do after a two-stage revision surgery for a joint infection. If you have a joint replacement that got infected and need this surgery, you might be able to join.
