New antibiotic injection method tested to stop shoulder surgery infections

NCT ID NCT05831774

Summary

This study is testing if injecting an antibiotic directly into the shoulder bone during replacement surgery is as effective as the standard method of giving it through an IV. Researchers are comparing the two methods in 33 patients to see if both deliver similar antibiotic levels to the surgical area and lead to the same low rate of post-surgery infections. The goal is to find the best way to prevent infections after this common operation.
