NCT ID: NCT01230931 Terminated - Clinical trials for Intra-Articular Fractures

Hemostasis in Kocher-Langenbeck Approaches for Acetabular Surgery Using a Topical Surgical Hemostat (Vitagel)

Start date: October 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine whether surgical hemostats can minimize blood loss, need for allogeneic blood transfusions and their associated risks, and costs in patients with certain acetabular fractures requiring operative fixation via a non-extensile Kocher-Langenbeck surgical approach. Since surgical hemostats and other topical agents like platelet gel products have also been linked with improved wound healing, incidence of wound dehiscence and/or infections will also be examined. The investigators primary hypothesis is the topical hemostat will result in lower blood losses intraoperatively and fewer units of perioperative blood product transfused.
