Knee infection breakthrough: which surgery works best?
NCT ID NCT06293352
First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to treat an infected artificial knee: a one-stage surgery that puts in a new knee right away with antibiotic cement, or a two-stage surgery that uses a temporary antibiotic spacer first. Both methods aim to clear the infection, but researchers want to know which one gives patients better pain relief, function, and satisfaction over 5 years. About 153 adults with a chronic knee infection will take part.
