Studying bacteria around hip or knee fracture repairs
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks for bacteria around the implant in patients who need surgery for a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement. It aims to learn if these infections affect healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You have a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement that needs surgery
- You are treated at the University of Chicago Medical Center between October 2025 and October 2027

This study enrolls adults who break a bone around a hip or knee replacement soon after surgery. It creates a registry (a real-world database) to better understand these fractures and improve care over time.
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 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 looks at why some people have problems after knee or hip replacement surgery. It follows patients for three years to understand complications and improve care.
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 looks for tiny markers in your blood and tissue that can tell whether a hip replacement is failing because of infection or another reason. By taking extra samples during your planned revision surgery, researchers hope to improve how infections are diagnosed in the future.
