Summary

This study tests a new hip replacement device coated with silver to see if it can prevent infections in people at high risk, such as those with diabetes or weak immune systems. About 70 participants will receive the implant and be followed for infection rates and silver safety. The goal is to reduce both early and late infections after surgery.
