Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study will describe the time point at which a positive culture from a patient who has undergone shoulder surgery should be treated as an infection versus a false positive result that should be disregarded. Intraoperative biopsies will be taken and cultured from 50 subjects who have undergone an "open" surgical procedure and 50 from subjects undergoing an arthroscopic procedure.
