Study Summary
A prospective trial conducted at Shock Trauma of patients between 18 years of age and older who have sustained a fracture with metal implanted. The investigators will be collecting between 1-3 routine blood draws for the purpose of laboratory analysis to assess biofilm growth. Patients may be infected or non-infected at the time of blood draw; they will be selected at random for purposes of this study. All patients will be followed as standard of care by their treating physician for all their follow up visits.
Primary Outcome
A high level of absorbance via ELISA (greater than 1.5 ratio compared to control human serum) is a positive test result. The rate of not infected patient samples that return positive will demonstrate the false positive rate of the test.
