Bone injection may beat IV for spine surgery infections

NCT ID NCT06748144

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two ways of giving the antibiotic vancomycin during lumbar fusion surgery: injecting it directly into the bone marrow versus the standard method through a vein. Researchers want to see which method delivers higher antibiotic levels to the bone and soft tissue, potentially reducing infection risk. The trial will enroll 30 adults undergoing specific types of spine surgery.
