Can Preoperative Skin Perfusion Predict Wound Healing Complications in High-Risk Peri-Articular Tibial Fracture Fixation

Abstract

This prospective single group observational study will enroll 160 patients with closed peri- articular tibial fractures that require surgical fixation from three trauma centers in the United States. Following informed consent, eligible patients will undergo LA-ICGA perfusion measurements of their injured limb at their index surgery as well as their delayed open definitive surgery (if required). The perfusion will be standardized relative to the capillary ICG concentration as measured by a pulse dye densitometer. Patients will be assessed at regular clinical follow-up visits for 90 days after definitive fixation and monitored for the primary outcome of wound complications.
