One surgery instead of two for candida joint infections?
NCT ID NCT07303101
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a single surgery to replace an infected hip or knee joint can work as well as the usual two-step process for Candida infections. Researchers will review records of 16 patients treated between 2013 and 2021. The goal is to see if the infection clears up with just one operation plus antifungal medicine.
