Description
The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Directed Topic Grant invites research proposals focused on determining whether anatomic radial head arthroplasty is superior to non-anatomic arthroplasty or spacer options. The grant encourages innovative methodologies and novel study designs to rigorously address this clinical hypothesis. Projects may include pilot feasibility trials or studies that propose unique outcome measures or investigative approaches, provided they align with the available resources. The initiative aims to advance the scientific understanding of radial head arthroplasty outcomes.
