Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of genetic testing to look for possible infection as a cause for failure of non-healing fractures. The study aims to compare the results of genetic testing known as NGS to standardized clinical laboratory tests for diagnosing infections to see if NGS may be a better diagnostic tool.
