Volume Reduction for Open Fracture Irrigation (NCT07437339)
Volume Reduction for Open Fracture Irrigation: A Randomized Prospective Feasibility Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to help doctors who treat open fractures understand how much fluid is required when cleaning out the wound. Participants will spend about 12 months in this study and will be asked to answer study questions about your recovery at your typical follow up clinic visits with your surgeon. After the surgeon has determined a participant's bone has healed, any remaining study visits can be conducted over the phone, email, and/or mail. Participants will not be asked to attend additional clinic visits as part of this study. Researchers will compare two different fluid volume protocols to determine if one results in better fracture and/or wound healing.
