| Popis: |
Following orthopaedic trauma, bone devitalization is a critical determinant of complications such as infection or nonunion. Intraoperative assessment of bone perfusion has thus far been limited. Furthermore, treatment failure for infected fractures is unreasonably high, owing to the propensity of biofilm to form and become entrenched in poorly vascularized bone. Fluorescence-guided surgery and molecularly-guided surgery could be used to evaluate the viability of bone and soft tissue and detect the presence of planktonic and biofilm-forming bacteria. This proceedings paper discusses the motivation behind developing this technology and our most recent preclinical and clinical results. |
