Preventing infections after hip, knee, or shoulder surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests ways to prevent infections after major hip, knee, or shoulder surgery. If you have a serious medical condition that needs monitoring, this trial may help reduce your risk of infection after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a severe but stable medical condition (called ASA III) that requires careful monitoring during surgery.
- You must be scheduled for a major surgery on your hip, knee, or shoulder — either your first surgery or a revision.
- You must be able to give your consent and cooperate with the study.
- You cannot be pregnant, and you must not have had confusion after previous surgeries.
