Antibiotics and surgery for hip and knee joint infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
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 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 study is testing whether giving three different antibiotic combinations (instead of one) before surgery can better protect the good bacteria in your gut and reduce the chance of developing resistant bacteria. If you are having a joint replacement revision or similar surgery due to a suspected infection, participation might help improve how infections are treated.
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 tests a way to prevent infections for people getting a hip or knee replacement. It compares different methods to see which works best and may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
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 tests whether adding a treatment with special viruses (called phages) to standard antibiotic care can help clear a joint infection more effectively after surgery. The goal is to improve your chances of keeping the artificial hip or knee and avoid the need for more procedures.
