Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Optimize Post-Operative Recovery (COPE): a randomized controlled feasibility trial in extremity fracture patients
Gouveia K, Sprague S, Gallant J, MacRae S, Del Fabbro G, Bzovsky S, et al.
Pilot Feasibility Stud . 2025 Jan; 11(1):3. PMID: 39799376
Background: Outcomes following surgery to operatively manage extremity fractures are variable, and up to two-thirds of patients report chronic post-surgical pain. Preliminary evidence suggests that psychotherapy directed at improving coping...

Collection of Multiple Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (CRAM-PROMs) in orthopaedic trauma: a randomized trial to assess the impact of quantity on quality
A Marcano-Fernandez F, Prada C, Sprague S, Bzovsky S, Gallant J, Del Fabbro G, et al.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res . 2024 Nov; :104076. PMID: 39612982

Skin Antisepsis before Surgical Fixation of Extremity Fractures
Sprague S, Slobogean G, Wells J, OHara N, Thabane L, Daniel Mullins C, et al.
N Engl J Med . 2024 Jan; 390(5):409-420. PMID: 38294973

In-person cognitive behavioural therapy vs. usual care after surgical management of extremity fractures: an unsuccessful feasibility trial
Gouveia K, Sprague S, Gallant J, Del Fabbro G, Leonard J, Bzovsky S, et al.
Pilot Feasibility Stud . 2024 Jan; 10(1):2. PMID: 38184642
Background: Extremity fractures are common, and most are managed operatively; however, despite successful reduction, up to half of patients report persistent post-surgical pain. Furthermore, psychological factors such as stress, distress,...
