This study follows people who have osteomyelitis (a serious bone infection) to better understand how the condition is treated and how patients do over time. Joining means having your health tracked during regular clinic visits.
This study tests whether placing antibiotic-coated beads directly into the infected area helps treat bone or joint infections in the lower leg, foot, or ankle. The beads release antibiotics slowly to fight the infection at the source.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
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.
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 tests a new way of giving antibiotics to people with severe open fractures in the leg, ankle, or foot. The goal is to see if it helps prevent infections after surgery.
