RCTs in Elective Orthopaedics : How I Can Get Involved
Description
This VTT transcript captures a talk presented by Hemant Pandit, who expresses gratitude for the introduction, acknowledges the contributions of previous speakers, and discusses the importance of clinical studies in addressing unanswered medical questions.
Hemant outlines his involvement in multiple research studies, emphasizing the hard work required to secure funding and conduct research, while noting both institutional and personal recognition as potential benefits. His presentation highlights a mix of NIHR-funded and industry-supported studies, focusing on clinically relevant questions such as the management of biologic DMARDs in orthopedic surgeries and the exploration of innovative pain management techniques using novel drug delivery systems.
The talk progresses through the details of three specific studies: one comparing the continuation versus cessation of DMARDs for patients undergoing elective surgery, another assessing the viability of knee extraction as a treatment for arthritis, and a third evaluating the effectiveness of a sustained-release pain management method.
Towards the end, Hemant discusses future studies related to driving after orthopedic procedures and the potential of wearable and implantable technology in orthopedics, showcasing an enthusiastic outlook on the implications of digital health. The session concludes with an invitation for collaboration and questions, reinforcing Hemant's commitment to advancing clinical knowledge and patient care in orthopedics.
