New Dye-Based imaging could help surgeons spot bone problems early
NCT ID NCT06793644
First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests whether a special dye called ICG, used with a new imaging device, can help surgeons see how healthy a patient's bone is during surgery. Ten adults with open fractures or bone infections will receive the dye and be imaged. The goal is to see if this technique can predict healing and reduce the need for repeat surgeries or infections.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Indocyanine green (ICG) dye
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help surgeons better predict bone healing and reduce complications like infections or unplanned reoperations.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging is still experimental and may not improve outcomes.
