KNEE Study

Great to see the results of the study undergoing analysis- really important and useful information coming through - abstracts going in and paper coming together- stay in touch! @OTrauma @bota_uk @CornetResearch

@YorkshireORC @YorkshireOrtho @SouthTeesOrtho @bota_uk @AOTrauma @CornetResearch

Final push in our final week! Lets break 300! Remember that for collaborative authorship, each local collaborator needs to upload at least one patient under their individual REDcap login!

Distal femur fractures were a topic of controversy at last weeks OTA. Help us define current UK practice - How quickly do we get to theatre? What do we do when we get there? What do we do post-op? @SouthTeesOrtho @bota_uk @CornetResearch @YorkshireORC

Cases numbers have really taken off during the first 10 days of November! Thankyou to all collaborators! Still not too late to get involved if you're not registered! @SouthTeesOrtho @bota_uk @CornetResearch @YorkshireORC

Fantastic to see Core Surgical Training finally awarding points for collaborative authorship @STARSurgUK @EuroSurg @CovidSurg Breakthrough! 🤩

Amazing news for collaborative research! @OrthoSingh @FFPOM_Study @TheOPENStudy @PPAK_Study @DQAElbows @thePHDstudy @StudyKnee @bota_uk @CornetResearch @orcapaedics

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… - Longer time to surgery for distal femur compared to proximal, higher mortality at 30 days, 6 months and 1 year. Is this the same nationwide? What's stopping us getting to theatre? Help us find out! @bota_uk @YorkshireOrtho @SouthTeesOrtho

50 patients submitted in the first month, though our projections were of 400 over the four months. They must be out there somewhere! Still not to late to get involved, lets hit that 400! @bota_uk

Cases continue to come in! Thanks to all those collaborators who've hit the ground running. Not too late to get involved! Can still register via link in profile!

Great talking to/ learning from other trainees today @BritOrthopaedic about how to deliver collaborative studies like @PPAK_Study #orthotwitter #BOAAC22 @YorkshireORC

Our first full week of data collection is live, any patients over the age of 60 presenting with a fracture around the knee! If you're not yet registered don't worry, still time to sign up and contribute. Link is in our bio!

Still 10 days before data collection begins! Thanks to those who have got their paperwork in and are set to go! Still plenty of time to get registered and join us in defining current practice surrounding fragility fractures around the knee!

Best of luck @BOAORTHOPOD !

Hopefully, @WAX_trial results will help the debate for ankles. But do we need a randomised study around the knee? @Complex_FracPSP and @RCSnews team in July seemed to think so! Either way - @StudyKnee is probably the next step. Looking forward to this kicking off soon 🦵!

@drumairrk Study starts September 1st so should have plenty of time to get registration sorted!

@StudyKnee Waiting to start at new hospital this week before registering! Is there a deadline?

Sixty-three expressions of interest so far, still time to get registered - link in bio. For those who have already received documents, make sure to get them signed off ASAP so that REDcap logins can be provided and we can get started come September 1st!

TrAFFix struggled with equipoise and unpredicted non surgical care @BMJ_Open bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/5/e0… clearly there is a need to understand this injury better - get your site registered! Starting September @orthocollab @OrthoSingh @OTrauma @Williameardley

@SYorksOrthoRegs @Imperial_TRAC @EMS_LOTA @NorthWestORC @Notts_ortho @merseyortho @Official_BORG @UCLHOrtho @LOandTS

For those that have signed up please check your email, details as to how to register for REDcap are out! If you're not yet registered then it's not too late! Please register your interest at redcap.link/KNEE-Registrat…
