Trauma Injury clinical trials at UC Irvine
2 research studies open to eligible people
ICG Fluorescence Imaging in Open Fracture Trauma Patients
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a prospective observational study that will evaluate the association between bone and tissue perfusion, as measured by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, and complications, in an effort to develop ICG fluorescence imaging as a diagnostic tool to quantitatively guide operative debridement.

ICG Fluorescence Imaging in Post-traumatic Infection
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The focus of this prospective observational study is to (1) establish the range and variation associated with bone/soft tissue perfusion in fracture patients, using ICG fluorescence imaging; (2) examine the relationship between perfusion and complications such as surgical site infection (SSI), persistent SSI, and fracture nonunion; (3) to determine whether the quantitative ICG fluorescence can be used to guide bony debridement in the setting of infected fracture to minimize complications.
