ICG dye imaging for open fractures and infections
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an open fracture in an arm or leg that needs surgery with metal pins, plates, or rods.
- You have a bone infection from a fracture and will have surgery to clean out the infection and possibly remove hardware.
- Your surgery is done by a doctor taking part in this study.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

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.
This trial tests whether a special dye (ICG) seen during your surgery can help doctors better identify the edges of a tumor in bone or soft tissue. It may help ensure as much of the tumor is removed as safely as possible.
This trial tests whether a special dye called ICG, which glows under infrared light, can help surgeons better see and remove bone and soft tissue tumors during surgery. The goal is to make the removal more precise and safe.
This trial tests a new way to quickly diagnose necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs, also called flesh-eating infections) using a safe dye and a camera. If you are being checked for a possible NSTI, this could help doctors decide faster whether you have it and need treatment.
This trial uses a special dye (ICG) and a camera to help surgeons see the tumor better during surgery for giant cell tumors of bone in the arms or legs. The goal is to remove all of the tumor while saving as much healthy bone as possible.
This trial uses a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) during surgery to make giant cell bone tumors glow, helping doctors remove them more accurately. It may lead to better surgical outcomes for people with this tumor type.
