Scans with eye imaging for open and infected broken bones
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a special scan technique (using light from an eye camera) to look at healing in open fractures that are infected. It may help doctors better monitor how these difficult injuries respond to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have an open fracture (the bone break goes through the skin)
- Your fracture is infected
- Your broken bone is not in the metatarsal (the foot bones near the middle of your foot)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (ICG) during surgery can help doctors see blood flow and infection in open fractures or infected bone areas. The dye glows under a special camera, which may guide better treatment decisions.
This trial uses a device to measure how your body heals after a serious arm or leg fracture. It may help doctors better understand and track recovery.
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
This trial is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors plan surgery for a broken leg. It looks at pictures of the break to see if it can make surgery better or easier.
This study uses a retinal scanner to see if it can detect and track brain injury after a mild head trauma (concussion). If you are between 18 and 45 years old and had a head injury within the past two weeks, this test might help doctors learn more about your injury without invasive procedures.
This trial tests a new, more detailed eye imaging technique (PS-OCT) that takes pictures inside the eye. You might be able to help researchers improve how well the scan works, especially for people with otherwise healthy eyes (with some limits).
