Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Prosthetic-joint Infection
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Antibiotic Elution Profile and Outcomes in the Treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infections of the Knee
Brief Summary:
Patients presenting with prosthetic joint infections of a total knee replacement who are treated with an antibiotic spacer will be observed prospectively for their response to treatment and antibiotic elution profiles will be measured post-operatively utilizing mass spectrometry from synovial fluid acquired as part of standard of care in the management of prosthetic joint infection.Secondary outcomes including post-operative complications, re-operation rates, and re-admission rates will also be compared.
