Share your story about rehabilitation and recovery after complex fractures

We are interested in people who have had complex fractures following a traumatic injury. Complex fractures are badly broken bones requiring specialist treatment in hospital.

The different types of complex fractures are shown in the picture below. We want to know your experiences of rehabilitation and/or lack of rehabilitation (e.g. physiotherapy, counselling) after leaving hospital, and what you feel is most important to your recovery.

The study’s results will be used to help inform clinical practice and develop a rehabilitation programme designed to meet people’s needs.

Who can take part:

• Adults 18 years and over

• Traumatic injury e.g. road traffic accident, fall, assault, work or recreational injury

• Complex fractures (badly broken bones) requiring a stay in hospital

• Between 3 to 12 months since your injury

What does it involve:

• One interview for approximately 45 minutes at a date and time that is good for you

• The interview can be done by videoconference (e.g. TEAMS, Zoom), telephone or in person. It is your choice.

• You will get a £25 shopping voucher to thank you for your time

• All content will be anonymised with no identifiable information Interested in taking part or have questions?
