Post Operative Surgical Site Infection clinical trials at UCSF
2 research studies open to eligible people
Post operative surgical site infections are infections that occur at the location of surgery. UCSF is evaluating antibiotic powders to prevent infections in fractures at high risk. UCSF is investigating how protocolized antibiotic care can help those with severe open fractures heal more effectively.
New Strategy for Protocolized Antibiotic Care for Severe Open Fractures: SEXTANT
open to eligible people ages 18-64
The proposed study is a multi-center, prospective randomized controlled trial comparing current standard of care treatment to the SEXTANT treatment protocol in patients with Type III open fractures of the tibia and IIIB fractures of the ankle and hindfoot.

Topical Antibiotic Therapy to Reduce Infection After Operative Treatment of Fractures at High Risk of Infection: TOBRA
open to eligible people ages 18-80
The overall objective is to compare the effect of Vancomycin and Tobramycin powder combined (treatment) to Vancomycin powder (control) in the reduction of post-fixation infections of tibial plateau and tibial pilon fractures at high risk of infection (collectively considered the "study injuries").

Our lead scientists for Post Operative Surgical Site Infection research studies include Saam Morshed, MD.
