It is designed for adults with knee osteoarthritis who are scheduled for surgery and want to see if this natural supplement can improve their recovery.
This trial is trying to find out if the bacteria in your gut can predict whether your knee or hip replacement will get infected or fail early. It recruits people who are already having a knee replacement or a revision surgery for a broken or infected joint, and who also have an imbalance in their gut bacteria.
