- Not Recruiting
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the best treatment for severe lower leg injuries.
Description
The study design is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial comparing surgical site infection rates with and without Supplemental Perioperative Oxygen at the time of fracture fixation. This study design will provide the highest quality evidence to investigate our hypothesis that Supplemental Perioperative Oxygen will be effective at decreasing infection in these at-risk patients. The study population will be patients aged 18 to 80 years of age with high energy fractures to the tibial plateau, pilon or calcaneous treated operatively with plate and screw fixation.
