Database for highly specialized functions within orthopedic surgical traumatology

Short summary

Highly specialized functions within orthopedic surgery include various complicated and severe bone fractures. These bone fractures are treated at the university hospitals in Denmark. We know that these bone fractures are often highly debilitating for the patients, but we do not know how the patients are doing after they have completed treatment at the hospitals. With this database, we can follow this patient group and formalize collaboration across the university hospitals.


Rationale

The purpose of the database is to register highly specialized bone fractures in Denmark, so that there is a collective opportunity to monitor, standardize, and improve the treatment of these patients across the country.


Description of the cohort

Patients from university hospitals in Odense, Aarhus, Aalborg, Rigshospitalet and Køge with severe bone fractures e.g. pelvis fractures, particularly complex fractures as e.g. heel fractures as well as severely open fractures.


Data and biological material

Cpr number, age, sex, height, weight, comorbidity, drug abuse, work, level of activity, lenght of hospitalization, death, injury, injury time, fracture type, fracture, healing, questionnaires.
