Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impairs fracture healing, with neutrophils playing a crucial role in this process. In T2DM, these immune cells are over-activated, leading to the excessive release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), increasing inflammation and hindering recovery. Thus, need for markers assess patients risk group arises. This study demonstrates that circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) can be efficiently quantified from serum samples by single-step qPCR used as marker NETosis. Our results revealed trauma T2DM have highest cfDNA levels, followed patients, healthy has lowest. The method shows strong correlations between neutrophil-specific such MPO, citH3, AZU1, α-defensin, highlighting its potential rapid indicator approach could allow timely interference high-risk ultimately improving healing outcomes reducing complications chronic inflammation, non-union fractures, diabetic foot ulcers.
