U.S., Feb. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07434258) titled 'Dose-Response Association Between Cerclage Wire Number and Infection Risk' on Feb. 17.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this dual-center retrospective study is to investigate the relationship between the number of metallic cerclage wires used in femoral fracture surgery and the risk of developing deep infections. Cerclage wiring is a common technique used to hold bone fragments together during the fixation of complex thigh bone (femur) or hip replacement-related (periprosthetic) fractures. While these wires provide mechanical stability, adding foreign material to the body may increase the risk of bacterial colonization and biofilm form...
