Cefazolin infusion methods to prevent infections after major orthopedic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having major orthopedic surgery (like bone or joint surgery).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a weakened immune system (for example, from certain medications or diseases).
- You are not expected to need another surgery within 30 days after this one.

This study compares two ways of giving an antibiotic (cefazolin) to patients who had heart bypass surgery (CABG). The goal is to see which method better prevents surgical site infections.
This study tests whether giving an antibiotic called levofloxacin under the skin near the surgical cut can help prevent wound infections after emergency abdominal surgery. If you are having an urgent surgery for a dirty or infected belly, this treatment might help you heal with fewer complications.
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 tests whether giving antibiotics can lower the chance of infection after orthognathic (jaw) surgery. It may help by preventing post-surgery infections, but participation depends on your health history and medication allergies.
This study looks at how long patients should receive an antibiotic after certain types of heart surgery, to help prevent infections. It may help find the best “duration” of antibiotic prophylaxis after surgery through the breastbone (median sternotomy).
This study tests different ways to give antibiotics before open-heart surgery to see which works best at preventing infections. If you are having open-heart surgery, you may be able to join and help improve care for future patients.
