Study of ICG Fluorescence Imaging in Open Fracture and Infection Patients

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Fractures, Bone, Trauma Injury

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging system (cBPI) can be used to provide surgeons with information about bone health or bone blood flow. This will help surgeons better understand the healing potential of bone and relative risk of complication. This is important to help surgeons select the most appropriate treatment for severe traumatic injuries and infections.
