Study protocol : The daicy trial—dual versus single-antibiotic impregnated cement in primary hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture—a register-based cluster-randomized crossover-controlled trial
Background and purpose — Older patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) are often treated with a cemented primary hemiarthroplasty (HA). The DAICY trial investigates whether high-dose dual-impregnated antibiotic-loaded cement (DIAC) including gentamicin and clindamycin can reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in comparison with low-dose single-impregnated gentamicin
