In this episode, Marc and Mo discuss several recent JBJS and OE articles that caught their eye. The first part of the discussion focuses on selected highlights from the recent meeting of the OTA (specifically, anti-sepsis approaches in open fracture management), and the second part focuses on the recently published JBJS Supplement on the use of large databases in orthopaedic research.
