Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study will evaluate which body site(s) provide the best source of possible staph presence in participants undergoing total joint arthroplasty. If the pre-operative cultures indicate staph presence, an Infectious Disease specialist will be consulted for standard of medical care consultation and treatment management. Participants will be followed for 2 years post-implantation of prosthetic joint to monitor development of prosthetic joint infection.
