Overview
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.
Interventions
- Other Decision tool
A survey will be created for each condition that reflects the most important aspects of the corresponding treatment process. - Other Standard treatment information
Participants will receive information pertaining to one of the 12 specified musculoskeletal conditions. This information will reflect information commonly distributed to patients seeking to make a decision concerning treatment for their condition.
