The aim is to investigate the participation of traumatologists in providing medical rehabilitation care to patients with injuries and form a recommended plan to strengthen this area at the regional level and the level of individual health care facilities. Medical-statistical, sociological, graphic, bibliosemantic methods and methods of structural and logical analysis were used during the research. The survey involved 65 traumatologists, which amounted to 72.2% of all doctors specializing in "Traumatology" in Transcarpathian region. All physicians surveyed refer patients with injuries for rehabilitation services, but only 56.9±6.1% do so electronically. It was determined that 75.4±5.3% of traumatologists participate in the work of multidisciplinary teams in various forms, 32.3±5.8% - participate in the joint development of individual rehabilitation plans. 70.8±5.6% of surveyed physicians reported the practice of conducting informational and educational work to ensure adherence to rehabilitation among patients who need it. The study identified some aspects of the participation of traumatologists in providing medical rehabilitation to persons with injuries: the frequency of referrals for rehabilitation, information work to form the adherence to rehabilitation, forms of participation in multidisciplinary teams. Based on the results of the research, a recommended plan for strengthening the participation of traumatologists in the rehabilitation process at the regional and individual level has been developed.

Introduction: Examination under anesthesia (EUA) (stress fluoroscopy) is commonly done after pelvic ring injury to identify occult instability because unstable disruptions may displace causing morbidity. The force applied during EUA for these injuries has not been standardized. The purpose of this study was to examine the forces used during the EUA by experienced orthopaedic trauma pelvic surgeons.

Purpose: Numerous classification systems have been developed for neck of femur fractures, but none have been tested for reliability in gunshot injuries. Our primary objective was to assess the inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of the AO/OTA classification system when applied to intracapsular neck of femur fractures secondary to low-velocity civilian gunshots wounds (GSWs). Our secondary objective was to test the reliability of the AO/OTA classification system in guiding surgeon treatment choices for these fractures.

Introduction: Workplace violence (WPV) in US health care is increasing, and many workers are likely to experience WPV during their careers. This study aims to assess the scope of WPV in orthopaedics.
Methods: A 20-item survey adopted from the World Health Organization's 'Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country Case Studies Research Instruments Survey Questionnaire' was sent to Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons members, including residents and fellows.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate hip fracture simulator training and orthopedic resident skill attainment. We hypothesized that after 6 training sessions, improvement in post-training scores in junior residents would exceed that of senior residents and that senior residents would attain expert level proficiency sooner.
Design: Thirty orthopedic residents from a single institution completed 6 training sessions.
