Assessment of Wound Necrosis in Lower Extremity Surgery Using SPY Intra-operative Angiography

Researchers are performing this study to evaluate if intraoperative angiography can be shown
numerically to determine which wounds are at high risk of wound necrosis/breakdown.

At the beginning of the Participants surgical procedure, a picture will be obtained using
intraoperative angiography using ICG dye which the camera can detect. This dye will be
provided through intravenous access. The picture will be taken of the wound to determine
preoperative blood flow to the area where the incision is planned. After the wound has been
closed postoperatively, a final picture, using the procedure described above, will be taken
to determine blood flow after closure of the wound. These images will be obtained using
intraoperative angiography. The Participant will be followed after the surgical procedure at
standard intervals as determined by the surgeon until the wound heals or requires further
intervention.
