This is an observational study designed to investigate the role of fat emboli in patients who
are undergoing a tibial or femoral fracture procedure in the operating room. The purpose of
this study is to obtain samples of bone marrow and blood during tibial or femoral fracture
procedures to understand the inflammatory response.
are undergoing a tibial or femoral fracture procedure in the operating room. The purpose of
this study is to obtain samples of bone marrow and blood during tibial or femoral fracture
procedures to understand the inflammatory response.
Bone marrow is routinely removed during a tibial or femoral fracture procedure; researchers
will take samples for this study from bone marrow that has already been removed as part of
this procedure. No additional marrow samples will be taken as part of this research study.
Also, researchers will collect blood (about 4 teaspoons) for testing inflammatory response
and coagulation. Researchers may need to insert an additional line to collect your blood.
