Infected joints: surgery versus local antibiotics

This study is looking to compare the outcomes and cost of treating infected joints with surgery or aspiration with a needle combined with injection of antibiotics. Many patients with infected joints are too sick to safely go to the operating room for surgery, thus we are investigating outcomes and cost of less invasive treatment options such as using a needle to aspirate the joint and inject antibiotics.
