Trial comparing treatments for Shoulder Arthroplasty
Official title Post-incision Antimicrobial Wash vs C. Acnes in Shoulder Arthroplasty
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06831422
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether washing the incision with different solutions lowers the chance of bacteria showing up after shoulder replacement.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you are an adult having your first shoulder replacement and your surgeon found bacteria in a sample before surgery.
- What's involved
- You will get one of four treatments after the surgeon cuts: a special wash, hydrogen peroxide, Betadine, or no wash. You will have a small sample taken from the incision to check for bacteria. You will also have follow‑up visits to see how you are doing.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about the time of your surgery and a few follow‑up visits over the next few weeks.
Which group you join is decided by chance.
