Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Prophylaxis
To investigate whether antibiotic impregnated bone graft (AIBG) decreases the risk of infection 2 years after hip arthroplasty, compared to controls treated with placebo impregnated bone graft.
Secondary objectives 4
- To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in time to and reason for reoperation for any reason within 2 and 5 years • time and reason for implant revision due to any reason within 2 and 5 years.
- To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in time to and reason for implant revision due to any reason within 2 and 5 years
- To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in the type of microorganism and antibiotic susceptability pattern in cases with postoperative infection.
- To evaluate the safety of using antibiotic impregnated bone graft (AIBG) as infection prophylaxis in hip arthroplasty.

Antibiotic impregnated bone graft: 8 ml of tobramycin (80mg/ml) are aspirated in a sterile syringe and used to dissolve 1g vancomycin powder from its ampule. The solution will be mixed with the morselized bone graft. |
