Description

The video presents a talk by William Eardley focusing on recent advancements and ongoing trials in orthopedic research within the UK, particularly concerning ankle and children's fractures. Eardley introduces several current studies, highlighting their importance in improving understanding and treatment outcomes for various types of fractures. He mentions the FAME trial, which examines approaches to managing ankle fractures, and the ACTIVE trial that addresses pilon fractures. Eardley emphasizes the collaborative nature of these trials and the significant role of trainees in advancing orthopedic trauma research. He discusses the challenges posed by COVID-19 on research activities and the ongoing efforts to maintain momentum in recruitment and data collection. The talk transitions to the OPEN project aimed at gathering data on OPEN fractures, noting the wide scope and collaborative efforts necessary to fulfill this ambitious goal. Throughout the presentation, Eardley expresses a sense of optimism about the progress made and the collective efforts of the orthopedic community to enhance research quality and clinical practices.
