Knee infection showdown: one surgery or two?
NCT ID NCT06293352
First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two different surgeries for people with an infected artificial knee joint. One approach uses a temporary antibiotic spacer and requires a second surgery later. The other uses a new artificial knee with antibiotic cement in a single surgery. Researchers want to see which method leads to less pain, better function, and higher satisfaction over 5 years. About 153 adults with a chronic knee infection will take part.
