Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 study compares how to replace an infected hip or knee implant using a two-step surgery with a shorter waiting time. It aims to reduce the time between surgeries while still safely treating the infection.
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.
