Summary
This study explores how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures tissue oxygenation after tibial fractures. Researchers found that injured legs showed a consistent increase in oxygenation compared with uninjured legs, and the contralateral limb served effectively as an internal control to assess the hyperemic response to injury.
