One-stage replacement for candida joint infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a single surgery to replace a hip or knee joint is effective for infections caused by Candida fungus. It may help people who need a joint replacement due to this type of infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older at the time of your joint replacement surgery.
- You had hip or knee replacement surgery at Strasbourg University Hospitals between 2013 and 2021.
- You have a confirmed or suspected Candida infection around your joint replacement.
- At least three deep tissue samples were taken during your surgery to check for infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who need a second (revision) surgery on a large joint replacement like a hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, or elbow because of a suspected or confirmed infection. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care.
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 trial tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent another infection in people who have had a hip or knee replacement that became infected. If you are scheduled for revision surgery due to an infection, this study may be a good fit.
This study looks at how well hip or knee replacements work. If you are already scheduled for a replacement or a revision (a second replacement), you may be able to join.
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 uses advanced molecular methods to better diagnose infections in hip or knee replacement joints. The goal is to find infections more accurately so you can get the right treatment sooner.
