Plain-language 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.
