First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This early study tests whether applying a nitropaste cream during high-risk leg surgeries (like ankle or heel fractures) can improve blood flow to the wound area. Researchers will use a special camera to measure blood flow during surgery and then watch for wound healing problems afterward. The study involves 15 adults and aims to see if this approach is feasible and safe.
