Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intravenous and intraosseous antibiotic administration techniques during tourniquetless total knee arthroplasty.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in distal femur, proximal tibia, and periarticular soft tissues, as well as in systemic levels, between the intravenous and intraosseous administration groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30- and 90-day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) versus the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The research team hypothesizes that there will be no difference in complication (infection) rates between groups ;
