Patient Recall After Orthopedic Trauma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether receiving education after trauma surgeries affects three things: 1) knowledge about injury and treatment ("recall"), 2) how well patients follow treatment recommendations, and 3) how satisfied patients are with their care.

Rectroclavicular Block in Orthopedic Surgey
The ultrasound-guided retroclavicular approach to the infraclavicular region (RAPTIR) brachial plexus block has gained popularity as a relatively easy-to-perform nerve block that provides reliable and dense anesthesia to the upper extremity with a single injection. The block has been well described in the anesthesia community since it was first introduced …
Early Versus Delayed Bathing of Orthopaedic Surgical Wounds

It is also to learn about safe dosages and identify any side effects after surgery. Researchers will compare Epidiolex to a placebo solution to see …
Single-dose Intravenous Iron Therapy for Anemia After Orthopaedic Trauma
Acute blood loss in orthopaedic trauma and operative fracture care contributes substantially to perioperative anemia, which places participants at increased risk for complications including surgical site infection, cardiovascular complications, and even death. Anemia has further clinical implications in quality of life measures and is associated with fatigue, impaired physical performance, …
Suture Versus Staples for Wound Closure in Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery
This pilot study is designed to assess the feasibility of comparing skin closure methods - sutures versus staples - and subsequent rates of surgical site infection following open reduction and internal fixation surgery for orthopaedic trauma injuries. The primary objectives are to determine if enrollment, randomization, and compliance are feasible …
Two Post-Operative Pain Protocols at Discharge for Orthopaedic Patients
This is a single-center, pilot randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the feasibility of a definitive trial comparing opioid-free discharge prescriptions to usual care (which includes opioids) in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery. The main objective is to inform the design and feasibility of the definitive RCT.
