Conjoint Analysis of Patient Preferences in Joint Interventions

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hip Fractures; Tibial Fractures; Osteochondritis Dissecans; Arthritis; Femoroacetabular Impingement; Ankle Fractures

• Registration Number: NCT02664337
• Lead Sponsor: Duke University

Brief Summary

This study is an observational study to test and validate a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine patient preferences regarding treatment for any one of 11 musculoskeletal conditions: hip arthritis, knee arthritis, hip labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), osteochondritis dissecans, Achilles tendon rupture, patellofemoral dislocation, distal radius fracture, and fractures of the hip, ankle, tibia, and proximal humerus. This study aims to understand how multiple treatment variables, including pain, rehabilitation time, cost, and choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention, impact patients' decision-making processes and ultimate choice of treatment.
