Shaft of Tibial fRactures In children: Delivery, variation and Equity Review
Ongoing
About the study
A multicentre audit investigating variation in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures in children.
STRIDER is examining variation between surgical and non-surgical management of displaced tibial shaft fractures in children aged 5 to 15.
Participating clinical teams undertake a 12-month retrospective review of tibial shaft fractures using a standardised audit tool. Fully anonymised results are reported to Nottingham.
The aim is to identify variation in treatment pathways, outcomes and healthcare use, helping researchers design better future studies.
