NCT01667874

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Collatamp, a small flat sponge soaked with antibiotics will help to improve the success rate of the treatment of acute joint infections after a joint replacement surgery. Our hypothesis is that those patients receiving the Collatamp sponges will have an improved success with respect to the eradication of infection at one year following treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Eradication of infection

    Success will be defined as those patients whose implant is still in place at one year and demonstrate no clinical signs or symptoms of infection. Eradication of infection will be defined as those patients whose inflammatory markers (ESR and CRP)have returned to normal values following one year treatment.

    One year

Study Arms (2)

No Collatamp sponge

NO INTERVENTION

Joint infection treated without the use of the Collatamp G sponge.
