This trial compares two common types of oral antibiotics to see which works better for bone infections below the knee. If you have a bone infection that needs at least 28 more days of treatment and you can take pills, this study may help find the best option for you.
This study tests whether placing antibiotic-infused beads directly into an infected leg bone or joint helps clear the infection. It may be an option if you have an osteomyelitis infection in your lower leg and are well enough to consent.
This study tracks patients with a bone infection at the base of the skull, called skull base osteomyelitis. It aims to better understand the condition and improve care.
This trial tests if adding a bone-strengthening drug (bisphosphonate) to standard antibiotic treatment (vancomycin) works better for a certain type of long-term bone infection (osteomyelitis) that needs surgery. It may help people with a staph infection in their thigh or shin bone who are otherwise fairly healthy.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This trial studies how tolerable (comfortable) and safe oral antibiotic treatment is for infections in bones or joints. It may help confirm whether taking antibiotics by mouth for at least 6 weeks is well tolerated during treatment.
