Doctors use glowing dye to predict fracture healing problems
NCT ID NCT04403204
Summary
This study aimed to understand how blood flow in broken bones relates to complications like infections and bones not healing. Researchers used a special fluorescent dye injected into patients during surgery to measure blood flow in real-time. They followed 104 patients with serious fractures for one year to see if poor blood flow predicted more complications.
