Summary
This study looks at three methods of giving the antibiotic vancomycin during total knee replacement surgery: into the joint, into the bone, or through a vein. The goal is to see which method delivers the most antibiotic to the tissues that need it most, to prevent serious infections after surgery. About 30 adults having knee replacement at UC San Diego Health will take part. The study does not test a cure or treatment, but gathers information to improve infection prevention.
