What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are common surgical procedures, but a significant number fail for reasons that are not fully understood. Silent infections have been shown to cause failure after other orthopedic surgical procedures such as fracture fixation and joint replacement. Silent and subclinical infections, as well as disruptions in the knee joint microbiome, could therefore be potential causes of failure after ligament reconstruction. Traditional infection diagnostic methods (microbiological cultures) are often inadequate to detect these silent infections due to a lack of sensitivity. New molecular techniques such as high-throughput sequencing or NGS (next-generation sequencing) overcome this sensitivity problem and have proven effective in diagnosing polymicrobial infections. Increased sensitivity compared to traditional culture has been reported in numerous s
