Comparing two methods to prevent infection in ACL reconstruction surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of vancomycin-soaked autografts versus standard parenteral antibiotics in preventing infections following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Patients aged 20 to 45 with ACL dysfunction will be randomly assigned to receive either standard antibiotics or antibiotics combined with vancomycin-soaked grafts. The study will assess the occurrence of post-operative infections to determine if the vancomycin-soaked method significantly reduces infection rates compared to the control group. Conducted at Azadi Teaching Hospital in Duhok, Iraq, this trial seeks to improve surgical outcomes for ACL reconstruction patients.
