Benzoyl Peroxide Gel for Total Hip Arthroplasty
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial investigates how quickly a bacteria known for causing acne grows in patients who have had hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see if this bacteria might be causing infections after the surgery.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are currently using antibiotics or have used them in the past week.
Is benzoyl peroxide gel safe for use in humans?
How does benzoyl peroxide gel differ from other treatments for total hip arthroplasty?
Benzoyl peroxide gel is unique in the context of total hip arthroplasty because it is typically known as a component of bone cement, which can cause allergic reactions leading to complications like implant loosening. This differs from other treatments that focus on preventing infections or enhancing bone integration without the risk of such allergies.678910
