Antibiotics Injected Into Bone for Amputation Surgery Infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver antibiotics directly into bone at the site of limb amputation surgery to prevent or treat infections. If you've had amputation surgery with an osseointegration implant (a special anchor placed in your bone), this study may help keep your surgical site healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had limb amputation surgery (thighbone, upper arm, or shinbone level) and received an osseointegration implant—a surgical anchor placed directly in your bone
- You are showing signs of concern for infection at your surgical site
- You are 18 years or older
- You can visit the study site in person for follow-up visits over 1 year
- You speak English or Spanish

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 tests whether putting antibiotics directly inside the bone during surgery can improve outcomes for an infected knee prosthesis when the implant is being kept. It may help more people avoid needing full implant removal and replacement.
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 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.
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics before a second knee replacement surgery. It tests if injecting antibiotics into the ankle bone is as good as giving them through an IV.
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.
