9. Short List of Projects to Start Now
Dr. Lopez
Degenerative hip disease project with Dr. Krause
Some biomechanics/mechanical testing projects
Imaging projects related to hip disease
Potentially, some clinical trials in regenerative medicine
Dr. Krause
Survey of Opioid Prescription Patterns for Common Orthopedic Procedures
Outcomes for THA in patients under 30
Rates of femur fracture following bisphosphonate vs. PTH
Dr. Kumar
An evidence based lit review for the physical exam for the spine, to cover cervical, thoracic and lumbar

10. Dr. Dasa
What patient characteristics (ccmi, age, gender, bmi, race…) impact outcomes in inpatient vs outpatient tka patients at 3, 6, 12 mos following tka (follow to Giambelluca/lensing/parsons paper):
Are there certain patients who do better inpatient vs outpatient, hypothesis is that even sick patients are better off going home than staying in hospital
Does this vary by age, gender, race, BMI, and CCMI
Does # of physical therapy visits correlate with improved outcomes following tka at 3,6,12 mos
How many PT visits are needed to reach various outcomes (ie 5 visits = 20% improvement, 10 visits = 40% improvement….), can only look at patients who did therapy at ochsner
Does this vary by age, gender, BMI, race, and CCMI
Who needs the most therapy and who needs the least therapy to achieve a certain level of outcome
Using reachnet database, what patient characteristics are associated with ER visits following TKA at 30, 60, 90 d after surgery
age, race, gender, BMI, medical co morbidities, geography
Using reachnet database, are rates of DVT and PE decreasing as length of stay decreases especially in high risk patients
Does this vary by age, gender, BMI, race
the hospital actually more dangerous than being at home
