The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has expanded its registry program with a fracture and trauma registry, according to a press release.
The new registry, which will collect data on hip, distal radius, ankle, distal femur and proximal humerus fractures, will be the first AAOS registry to utilize the RegistryInsights platform, “a synergistic approach of collaborative modules,” according to the release.
The AAOS Fracture and Trauma Registry (FTR) will offer limited participant enrollment by the end of 2020, with full participant enrollment offered by the spring of 2021.
“Registry-based data is quickly becoming the standard for surgeons to document and demonstrate their patient outcomes and standardized reporting for quality orthopedic care,” Michael J. Gardner, MD, FAAOS, chair of the AAOS FTR Steering Committee, said in the release. “Collecting and utilizing registry data has been pivotal for joint replacement, is on track for spine surgery, and will soon be for fractures. In the future, we hope patients can look for their surgeon not only to be a member of the AAOS, but also a participant in the FTR. Together this will demonstrate a surgeon’s commitment to benchmarking and providing high-quality care,” he added.
“When we integrated the American Joint Replacement Registry back into the academy in 2017, our vision was to make sure that all modalities of musculoskeletal care were represented in the registries portfolio,” William J. Maloney, MD, FAAOS, chair of the AAOS Registry Oversight Committee, said in the release. “Not only does the FTR get us that much closer to our goal, but it is the first registry to offer crossover benefits for our participants with the creation of collaborative modules.”
