Which works better for bone infections: cleaning or replacing hardware?
NCT ID NCT07669714
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat early infections that happen after bone fracture surgery: cleaning the area and keeping the original hardware (DAIR) versus removing and replacing the hardware. Researchers will track 75 patients to see which method leads to better infection-free bone healing. The goal is to find the best approach to stop the infection and help the bone heal properly.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for early fracture infections, improving healing and reducing repeat infections.
