Compare the efficacy and safety of a novel opioid-free pain management pathway with that of an opioid-containing pathway across 5 common orthopaedic subspecialty surgical procedures. (Dr Scott Mallozzi and Dr. Vinayak Sathe) 2. Understand that the optimal timing for surgical fixation of distal femur fractures is critical for orthopedic clinicians, as it may significantly impact early patient outcomes, including in-hospital mortality and postoperative complications. (Dr. Joshua Namm) 3. Evaluate the evidence presented to determine the impact of patient age on functional outcomes, complication rates, and implant survivorship following RSA. (Dr. Kevin Shea) 4. Assess the potential of machine learning algorithms in predicting treatment strategies for hip osteoarthritis and apply this knowledge to improve patient triage and decision-making in clinical practice. (Dr. Michael Sobieraj)
