Intraosseous Vancomycin and Cefazolin vs Intravenous Administration in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of intravenous (IV) and intraosseous (IO) antibiotic administration techniques during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in adults undergoing a TKA procedure at Houston Methodist Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does IO administration of vancomycin and cefazolin protect against perioperative exposure risks? Is there a difference in post-operative complication rates between IV and IO administration of these drugs? Participants will be randomized to receive either the standard of care IV administration of Vancomycin and Cefazolin, or the IO administration of Vancomycin and Cefazolin.

Interventions

  • Drug IO Administration of Cefazolin
    Intraosseous injection of cefazolin to guard against infection.
  • Drug IO Administration of Vancomycin
    Intraosseous injection of vancomycin to guard against infection.
  • Drug IV Administration of Cefazolin
    Intravenous dose of cefazolin to guard against infection.
  • Drug IV Administration of Vancomycin
    Intravenous dose of vancomycin to guard against infection.

Primary outcome measures

  • Rate of Postoperative Infections [Time frame: 30 days postop and 90 days postop]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Postoperative Wound Complications [Time frame: 30 days postop and 90 days postop]
