NCT ID NCT07256405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a new DNA sequencing technology (Nanopore) can better identify infections in broken bones compared to standard lab cultures. Researchers will collect bone samples from 100 adults with fracture-related infections and compare the results from both methods. The goal is to see if this faster approach can help doctors choose the right antibiotics sooner.
