This study looks at whether certain blood tests (called biomarkers) taken before surgery can help predict how well you do after a two-step joint replacement surgery to treat an infection. The goal is to improve care for people with joint infections.
This study checks what happens over the long term for people who had an infection around a replaced (prosthetic) hip. It mainly helps doctors understand recovery and long-term outcomes after treatment.
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.
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 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 follows patients who have had a complex hip replacement to see how they do over time. It may help if your hip surgery was more complicated than usual, such as after prior surgeries, injuries, or certain medical conditions.
