Two papers accepted and changing what we know about UK open fracture care - join us @OTrauma and @BritOrthopaedic for the next study - all hospitals operating on orthopaedic trauma eligible- don’t miss the opportunity to change care and gain a collaborative publication

Don’t leave it late to get local audit sign off - register now and build on the success of @TheOPENStudy with the new study : @BOAORTHOPOD @EMS_LOTA @Imperial_TRAC @SYorksOrthoRegs @yorfac @YorkshireORC @LOandTS @MarietaFranklin @DayOneTrauma @LeeMLongstaff @OrthoSingh

Amazing news - second paper from @TheOPENStudy accepted in @BoneJointJ !! Congratulations to all our collaborative authors. Unique dataset informing UK orthoplastics @orthocollab @bota_uk @CornetResearch @OTrauma @Orthnorth1 @SouthTeesOrtho @AOUKEd @Williameardley @BOAORTHOPOD

Open Paper One - Epidemiology of Open Fractures- accepted today! Massive well done to all collaborators. Paper two in submission. Look out for ORTHOPOD, HASTE and KNEE. Coming to a hospital near you! Get involved! @Orthnorth1 @CornetResearch @OTrauma @orthocollab

Nice piece of work and as highlighted, always treat extremity trauma data with caution when collected by non- injury specific databases. The devil is in the detail and much of it is absent. Really valuable work. Well done!

The den is back and twice the size! otsmeeting.org/timetable/ Established projects AND registrar specific session. 250 word abstract to research@orthopaedictrauma.org.uk to introduce or showcase your work.@OrthohubXYZ @orthocollab @CornetResearch @bota_uk @borg_bristol @BOrthoNet

Both papers from OPEN submitted and with reviewers. We will keep all collaborators informed! Look out for the next two OTS studies : KNEE and HASTE. Exciting opportunities to take part in shaping UK trauma care @OTrauma @orthocollab @bota_uk @SouthTeesOrtho

The two papers from OPEN are written. All collaborators completing full datasets will be on the author list. Well done everyone. Submitting soon!

The first manuscript out of @TheOPENStudy is written and the second nearly done. Huge thanks to all of our amazing collaborators and get ready for the next two big studies coming your way - with your help we will smash it again! @OTrauma @orthocollab @bota_uk @Williameardley

Proud to have been involved in this brilliant collaborative study. 1212 patients recruited from 51 hospital! Looking forward to seeing the results. @OTrauma @TheOPENStudy @BritOrthopaedic

REDCap closes soon- 1,143 cases! Data fields must be complete to collaborate. Great study and huge thanks to all. Watch out for what's in the pipeline -get involved with the OTS & take a more active role! @OTrauma @orthocollab @CornetResearch @SCOT_net @eoeortho @OrthoGeorgePods

1,102 cases now. Fantastic achievement - look out for the next OTS / BOTA collaborative study due to be announced soon! OPEN has been massive - get ready for the next one…. @OTrauma @orthocollab @CornetResearch @SouthTeesOrtho @SCOT_net @eoeortho @OrthohubXYZ @OrthoGeorgePods

1,074 cases now! Last two weeks of REDcap access to complete all the fields. To be included as collaborative author, each case entered must be completed. Look out for TRIOS - the OTS platform coming shortly for these studies. @OTrauma @orthocollab @SouthTeesOrtho @SCOT_net

Amazing work by our teams - 1,043 cases in the study. Keep going with the data entry, make sure all the fields are complete. Lockdown for data entry for cases admitted up until October 1st will be the end of the month - when it’s done, it’s done. 💪@OTrauma @orthocollab

Job done. Well done everyone.

Two left!!!! Let’s get over the line today. All cases admitted before 1200 count. 1000 will make the maths so much easier! @OTrauma @orthocollab @SCOT_net @BartsBoneJoint @OrthoGeorgePods @CambridgeOrtho1 @SouthTeesOrtho

Sooo close!! Last big push. Let’s try and get to 1000 open fractures.@OTrauma @orthocollab @SouthTeesOrtho @BartsBoneJoint @CambridgeOrtho1 @SCOT_net @CornetResearch @BOrthoNet @bota_uk

969 Cases. So close to the thousand. All cases admitted with an open fracture up until 1200 midday 1st October are in.31 more between now and then. LAST PUSH! @OTrauma @orthocollab @OrthoGeorgePods @BartsBoneJoint @CambridgeOrtho1 @BOrthoNet @AintreeMTC @SCOT_net @SouthTeesOrtho
