Post Operative Surgical Site Infection clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
A post operative surgical site infection is when germs invade a surgery wound. UCSF is conducting research to discover better antibiotic treatments for patients with severe open fractures. Researchers compare existing methods with new ones to help reduce infection risks after surgery.
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.
