Optimization of Return to Duty and Outcomes in Military Training Shoulder and Knee Instability Injuries

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify independent risk factors for return to du ty(RTD), patient reported outcomes (PRO), and re-injury following shoulder and knee stabilization through a multi-center military collaboration using a web-based outcomes system. The hypothesis to be tested is that there are modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that affect service members RTD, PRO and re-injury following shoulder/knee stabilization. Our web-based data collection platform went live in October 2016 and patients have been enrolled under the standard of care initiative. We are actively enrolling patients at 9 performance sites. As of December 2017, we are able to enroll any surgically managed orthopaedic patient. As of April 2018, we are able to enroll any physical therapy managed musculoskeletal injury patient. We currently have 10000+ unique patients enrolled into our platform.
