Lactate Monitoring in Traumatic Long Bone Fractures Requiring Emergent Surgical Intervention
NCT05611398 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Serum lactate has been utilized as a standard in guiding management of orthopedic injuries. Elevated preoperative lactate has been associated with a higher likelihood of postoperative complications. However, lactate's role in guiding operative timing in non-critical long-bone fractures has not been previously explored. This study investigates lactate's role in guiding surgical timing and predicting complications secondary to delayed definitive correction in non-critical long-bone fractures with Injury Severity Score \<16.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05611398
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05611398 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 164 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, which has 4 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Injury Traumatic appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Orthopedic Surgery is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05611398 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
