Clinical research and clinical trials evaluating orthopaedic-specific factors and interventions for combat and service-related injury, generating evidence to optimise patient outcomes and inform clinical care or policy. Research Level 1 (clinical research, no trial) covers ligamentous trauma, osseointegration outcomes, return-to-duty strategies and military women's health; Research Level 2 (clinical trials) covers ligamentous trauma, limb stabilization and protection, and return-to-duty strategies.
