Study of infection markers in hip revision surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have revision surgery on a hip replacement (that means replacing or repairing the existing implant) for any reason
- You have not had any previous revision surgery on that same hip implant
- You have not taken any antibiotics in the two weeks before your surgery (except the ones given right before the procedure)
- You are able to give informed consent to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 trial checks how accurate certain blood tests and joint-fluid (synovial) tests are at identifying infections around hip or knee replacements. It also looks at whether these tests are worth the cost, to help doctors choose the best next step.
