Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will provide us with clear information about the postoperative concentration of antibiotic reached in synovial fluid, thereby helping surgeons to determine if concentration could potentially prevent the growth and regrowth of common infecting microorganisms (based on their MIC and MBEC). There is a need to define the actual benefit of antibiotic-loaded bone cement, because the addition of antibiotic can reduce its mechanical strength. Moreover, if sub-therapeutic antibiotic levels are achieved, this could facilitate the emergence of resistant bacterial strains. Amidst the transition towards value-based care, our research will enable surgeons to decide whether antibiotic-loaded cement is truly cost-effective in the prevention of PJI.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Group A (Control-negative group)

include participants undergoing total knee arthroplasty with Stryker Surgical Simplex P cement containing no antibiotic

Procedure: total knee arthroplasty
Participants will have total knee arthroplasty

Active Comparator: Group B (tobramycin group)

includes participants undergoing total knee arthroplasty with Stryker Surgical Simplex P cement with tobramycin antibiotic.

Procedure: total knee arthroplasty
Participants will have total knee arthroplasty

Drug: Tobramycin
Total knee arthroplasty using Stryker Surgical Simplex P with tobramycin

Active Comparator: Group C (gentamicin group)

Include participants undergoing total knee arthroplasty with Huraeus Palacos R+G cement containing gentamicin antibiotic.

Procedure: total knee arthroplasty
Participants will have total knee arthroplasty

Drug: Gentamicin
Total knee arthroplasty using Huraeus Palacos R+G cement containing gentamicin

Active Comparator: Group D (Control-positive group)

Include participants undergoing the first of a two-stage exchange arthroplasty for confirmed infection, using an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer. These patients will have a spacer implant made of vancomycin and tobramycin antibiotics using Huraeus Palacos non-antibiotic loaded cement

Procedure: total knee arthroplasty
Participants will have total knee arthroplasty

Device: Antibiotic cement spacer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Antibiotic concentration [24 hours]

    To determine antibiotic levels, synovial fluid (joint fluid) would be taken after surgery to measure the concentration of antibiotic in the joint fluid
