Brief description of study.

Despite advances that have been made in electronic medical record (EMR) technology, EMR software does not facilitate data gathering and analysis in the research setting. Therefore, retrospective research is often difficult to complete. IU Methodist Hospital is one of the busiest trauma centers in the country and has the capability to contribute significant amounts of data to orthopaedic trauma research. Our goal with this research is to maintain a database of pertinent information of all the patients seen by our orthopaedic trauma service. This will facilitate completion of numerous future retrospective studies.

This study investigates the creation of a database for orthopaedic trauma patients. Orthopaedic trauma refers to injuries to the bones, joints, and soft tissues caused by accidents or violence. The database will help collect and organize patient information for research purposes.

The study will involve gathering existing patient data from the hospital's records and organizing it into a comprehensive database. This process aims to streamline future research efforts by having a ready-to-use collection of patient information.

  • Who can participate: This study does not involve direct participant enrollment as it uses existing patient records.
  • Study details: Participants will not be required to take any specific actions as the study focuses on data collection from existing records.
