Have you had a recent injury that required a fasciotomy (a surgical procedure where the fascia, the tough connective tissue that surrounds muscles, is cut to relieve pressure)? Are you willing to be assigned by chance to one of two reconstructive treatments, either a standard of care (SOC) surgery, or an SOC surgery plus a graft of your own fat? You may be eligible for a research study.
What you’ll do
Your study participation will last approximately 9 months, after your surgery. The study is assessing the effect of a surgical intervention, using your own harvested fat, gathered through liposuction.
