Testing antibiotic delivery method for hip replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares a new way of delivering antibiotics directly into the bone during hip replacement surgery versus the standard IV method. The goal is to see if this approach prevents infection just as well while potentially improving outcomes.

This trial compares taking antibiotics by mouth versus through an IV line for people who have an infection in their hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well as IV antibiotics after surgery to clean the infection.
This study tests giving antibiotics (cefazolin and vancomycin) through a small needle into the shin bone during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if this way of giving antibiotics works well to prevent infection.
This trial compares two ways of giving an antibiotic called cefazolin during and after major orthopedic surgery to see which is better at preventing surgical site infections. If you are having major bone or joint surgery, this study might help reduce your risk of infection.
This trial tests whether adding antibiotics to the bone graft used during hip replacement surgery can lower the risk of infection. It may help people who need a bone graft as part of their hip replacement.
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics before hip or knee replacement surgery to see which one leads to fewer infections needing another surgery. It may help doctors choose the best antibiotic approach for patients having their first joint replacement.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and/or after surgery can lower the chance of a serious joint infection after elective hip or knee replacement. It’s aimed at people at higher risk for infection.
