Estimated time to complete activity: 1 hour

Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis

While failure of IT fractures is uncommon, the sheer number of surgeries performed guarantees there will be a sizable and increasing number of failed IT fractures. Often arthroplasty colleagues are unable to assist, or may not be well adapted to manage arthroplasty in the fracture setting. OTA members need to arm themselves with the tools to manage failed IT fractures and provide timely care for their patients.

Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis

Orthopedic surgeons have limited education and training regarding discernment of mental and social health opportunities, effective communication and relationship-building strategies, and navigating the current health environment that separates and deprioritizes mental health care. A person who is injured is experiencing pain, loss of capability, limited will to continue in cherished roles and activities, and uncertainty about the future.  They will need to redefine themselves.  In addition, people who experience musculoskeletal trauma often have mental health concerns and adverse social circumstances present prior to injury that may worsen after injury. While surgeons know that musculoskeletal injury is both physically and emotionally trying, and we know that injuries often occur, in part, due to mental and social health opportunities such as substance misuse or risky behavior, the issues have had inadequate attention.
