Survey Title: NSAID use in trauma: national survey of orthopedic surgeons
Survey Close Date: 07/31/2018
Survey Author: Eric Moghadamian, MD; Andrew Bernard, MD; Doug Oyler, PharmD
Description: The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients who have recently suffered an injury resulting in a fracture is likely heterogenous amongst surgeons. Audience: OTA members.
Survey Title: Hip Fractures in the Geriatric Population
Survey Close Date: 07/31/2018
Survey Author: Steven Olson, MD, OTA EBQVS Committee
Description: In 2014 just before release of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly – a document developed collaboratively with AAOS, OTA, AOA, IGFS, American Society of Geriatrics, American Society of Anesthesiology and others.This survey is a follow up assessment from the 2014 report of the OTA membership, to understand how the practice of the OTA membership has changed in this 4-year period. Target Audience: all OTA members.
Survey Title: Pilon Fractures: External Fixation Survey
Survey Close Date: 06/01/2018
Survey Author: Dr. Adam Schumaier, Dr. Toan Le, Dr. Michael Archdeacon
Description: This is a brief multiple choice survey (10 questions) to identify preferences in pilon fracture management with external fixators. Audience: OTA members, practicing surgeons.
Survey Title: Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Following Pelvic and Acetabular Fractures
Survey Close Date: 05/01/2018
Survey Author: John A. Scolaro, MD, MA, Philip Lim, MD, Jaimo Ahn, MD, PhD
Description: To better understand and evaluate how pelvic and acetabular surgeons handle VTE prophylaxis with their patients. We also hope to provide data for surgeons who desire to know what the common “standard of care” is for their patients Audience: All OTA members.
Survey Title: Trends in Approach to Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures
Survey Close Date: 5/30/18
Survey Author: L Henry Goodnough MD/PhD, Sean T Campbell MD, Michael J Gardner MD, Julius A Bishop MD
Description: We hypothesize that overall surgeons today are more likely to approach the majority of tibia fractures from a semi-extended leg position, with early- or mid-career surgeons and those without assistance even more likely to utilize semi-extended positioning. Audience: OTA members
Survey Close Date: 6/1/2018
Survey Author: Matthew Klima D.O.
Description: Analysis of OTA active membership practice regarding their institutional clinical practice in management of compartment syndrome. Of interest is institutional practices involving the surveillance for high risk patients that are intubated/obtunded, routine surveillance of tibia fractures, coordination of subspecialties (ortho and vascular), and indications for prophylactic fasciotomy. Audience: OTA members
Survey Title: Ankle Fracture Treatment: Are AP X-Rays Really Necessary?
Survey Close Date: 7/1/18
Survey Author: Matthew Garner, MD; Reza Firoozabadi, MD
Description: Ankle fractures are common injuries that contribute significantly to the cost of orthopaedic trauma care across the United States. This is a survey of orthopaedic trauma surgeons to assess the perceived utility and expense of anteroposterior ankle radiographs during routine follow-up of ankle fractures. Audience: OTA members
Survey Title: Perceptions around Value in Orthopaedic Surgery
Survey Close Date: 10/31/2018
Survey Author: Dr. Brian Cunningham, The Value Initiative; Regions Hospital, Saint Paul, MN
Description: The focus of our survey is to determine the knowledge level of orthopaedic trauma surgeons on the topic of value-based care, as well as to examine the influence of value on both their practice and their institution.
Survey Title: Management of Blunt Pelvic Fracture Injuries in the Setting of Concomitant Urethral Injury
Survey Close Date: 10/31/2018
Survey Author: Reza Firoozabadi (Orthopaedic Traumatologist), Niels Johnsen (Urologist), Bryan Voelzke(Urologist)
Description: Controversy exists in the trauma literature as to the optimal management of blunt pelvic fracture associated urethral injuries. Some practitioners advocate for attempted endoscopic urethral realignment in the acute setting in attempts to avoid the need for future urethral reconstruction, while others advocate for placement of a suprapubic catheter with plans for delayed posterior urethroplasty 3-6 months following injury. The aim of the present study is to determine how the presence and management of urethral injuries in patients with concomitant pelvic fractures due to blunt trauma influences orthopaedic decision-making and management. The hope is that by evaluating this injury pattern from an orthopaedics perspective, urologists can take this data into account when determining optimal management strategies for individual patients. Target population: All active members who perform pelvic fracture surgery.
