Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis

Despite advances in surgical techniques and imaging, significant variation still exists in the timing, approach, and fixation methods used for pilon fractures. Many orthopedic surgeons face challenges in decision-making regarding:

1. Optimal timing of surgery (staged vs early fixation)

2.Use nailing with plate or Plating 

3. Choosing between approaches (anterior, posterolateral, medial, extensile),

4. Managing soft tissue injuries associated with high-energy trauma,

5. Fixation strategies in cases with comminution or joint depression,

6. Minimizing complications such as infection, malunion, or post-traumatic arthritis. As a result, outcomes vary widely across centers and surgeons, especially in cases involving complex fracture patterns or polytrauma patients.

Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis

With increasing population of patients undergoing upper extremity arthroplasty, there has been an increase in periprosthetic fractures involving the scapula, humerus, elbow, and forearm. Orthopaedic surgeons need to recognize these distinct patterns, understand the importance of fixation allowing for early range of motion, and be familiar with surgical concepts in treatment.

Upper extremity arthroplasty is becoming more specialized amongst Shoulder and Elbow fellowships and surgeons. However, the subsequent fractures live in a shared/nebulous space. As orthopaedic trauma surgeons are specialized in fracture care and these fractures present through the ER or trauma setting, ortho trauma surgeons are often tasked with treating them. Given this gap in training between the two fellowships, familiarity with prostheses and crossover fractures is less common. However, with some basic knowledge and algorithms, these fractures can be successfully treated.

Estimated time to complete activity: 1 hour

Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis

Statistical interpretation is foundational to evidence-based medicine. Frequentist and Bayesian statistics are two major approaches for
hypothesis testing. Bayesian studies are increasingly common in orthopaedic literature with a 4-fold increase in the last 10 years.
Investigators and readers are relatively less familiar with Bayesian statistics. However, the Bayesian approach can align with clinical
decision-making by interpreting smaller but meaningful differences that are not limited by dichotomous p-values and ‘trends toward
significance.

Both methods follow a workflow that includes sampling, hypothesis testing, interpretation, and iteration. The methodologies diverge in
application of prior knowledge and multiple hypothesis testing in Bayesian statistics.

This session will introduce Bayesian principles and Bayes’ theorem, define how pretest probability and prior information may inform
diagnostic testing using an example from prosthetic joint infection, contrast Bayesian and frequentist approaches using an example
from the VANCO trial and other studies, and describe the criteria for critically reviewing Bayesian studies.
