Conditions
Prosthetic Joint Infection
Registration Number
NCT06591741
Lead Sponsor
Dr. Dean Reeves Clinic
Brief Summary

Determine if dietary protocatechuic acid (PCA) will affect health biomarkers in patient undergoing revision surgery for a knee prosthetic joint infection

Detailed Description

Patients who are scheduled to undergo revision surgery for a knee prosthetic joint infection are given PCA prior to surgery for a time period determined by a previous pilot study. PCA is then post-operatively until anticoagulation is stopped, and then will be resumed for four years post revision surgery. Measurement of changes in glucose control, immunity, will be measured over the first 3 months post-revision, and the post-revision reinfection rate over the full 4 years will be compared to a cohort rate
