This study follows patients with infections after a joint replacement over time. During follow-up, treatment outcomes are carefully measured to determine whether the infection can be cured. In addition, factors that may change infection cure rates are examined, including the patient's overall health, the type of bacteria causing the infection, and the surgical and antibiotic treatments used. The goal is to understand what leads to more frequent cure and to improve future care.
