Official Title: Analysis of Lactate Monitoring Requirement in Emergent Surgical Interventions in Noncritical Traumatic Long Bone Fractures
Brief Summary:
Serum lactate has been utilized as a standard in guiding management of orthopedic injuries. Elevated preoperative lactate has been associated with a higher likelihood of postoperative complications. However, lactate's role in guiding operative timing in non-critical long-bone fractures has not been previously explored. This study investigates lactate's role in guiding surgical timing and predicting complications secondary to delayed definitive correction in non-critical long-bone fractures with Injury Severity…
