OTA International Supplementary Discussion: Optimizing Value Based Care via Social Work Infrastructure

This episode is sponsored by Bonebridge, the Swiss medical device manufacturer dedicated to reducing complexity in orthopaedic trauma care. Join Dr. Marc Swiontkowski of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Dr. Chip Routt of UTHealth McGovern Medical School in Houston, Texas and Dr. Michael Miranda of Orthopaedic Associates of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut for a conversation about simplifying orthopaedic fracture fixation.  The three surgeons explore the roots of the minimalist, biology-first approach to fixation, and ask whether today's larger constructs and ever-growing implant systems are serving patients as intended. Drawing on decades of experience from the OR, the laboratory, and teaching residents, the surgeons discuss where the subspecialty of orthopaedic trauma has drifted, and offer practical advice for guiding younger surgeons to ask better questions before they open the tray. These and more topics will be discussed at the Bonebridge Education Inaugural Luncheon Symposium on Thursday, September 24th, at 12:40 PM in Exhibit Hall 4 at the OTA Annual Meeting in Nashville, TN.
