About this study

Official title: Can Topical Vancomycin Prevent Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty? Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The study is designed to assess the efficacy of vancomycin powder and dilute povidone-iodine lavage (VIP protocol) in reducing the PJI after primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized that VIP protocol provides superior reduction of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates after primary THA and TKA compared with diluted povidone-iodine (PI) protocol.

Read the detailed description

Patients who undergo primary hip or knee arthroplasty, before closure 0,35% povidone-iodine (17,5mL in 500 mL saline) solution lavage left for 3 minutes following final implantation.

Patients drawn by random numbers calculator will be administered with 1.0 g Vancomycin powder into the wound around the prosthesis and no suction will be used.

Being tested
1.0 g Vancomycin powder into the wound, 0,35% povidone-iodine solution lavage
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee, Osteoarthritis, Hip, Arthritis, Rheumatoid
