Swiss study on joint replacement revision for infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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 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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
