Smoking Cessation and a Teachable Moment in Patients With Acute Fractures
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Teaching intervention and Control for Tobacco Use Disorder and Bone Fractures. Completed, enrolled 40 participants.
Detailed Summary
Patients who smoke and suffer from fractures are worse off than those who do not smoke. Orthopaedic patients represent a group that can benefit from physician contributions to smoking cessation, and a special opportunity to cue this can begin with the orthopaedic surgeon in the acute setting. However, the best way to appropriately counsel these patients and assess the impact as a teachable moment remains undetermined.
