Study Summary
The purpose of this research project is to improve understanding of the potential role of highly sensitive bacterial tests in diagnosing infected non-healing fractures compared to the current standard of care, microbiologic culture (growing bacteria from tissue specimens in the laboratory). In order to understand the validity of the highly sensitive tests, parameters of the test in different groups of patients must be established. This study is examining how two highly sensitive tests compare to each other and to the standard of care (microbiologic culture) in three groups of patients. Group 1 is clean broken bone surgery undergoing plate and screw fixation, intramedullary nailing fixation where the fracture site is accessible, or staged treatment of a broken bones initially treated by joint spanning external fixation device. Group 2 will include patients having a plate and screws removed without clinical evidence of infection. Group 3 will be patients undergoing an initial procedure for fracture nonunion.
