The Fragility Index: Why is it Important to the Practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon?

Listen Later

In this instructive episode, Mo and Marc focus on the concept of the Fragility Index—a method for evaluating the robustness of statistically significant dichotomous outcomes in RCTs—and discuss why this concept is relevant to practicing orthopaedic surgeons, who must routinely make real decisions in the clinic and OR based on their interpretation of the orthopaedic literature.
