Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of the study is to study the fracture patterns in different anatomical locations at microscopic level in patients reporting to orthopedic OPD. Timepoint: This is a cross-sectional study, so all the 50 study participants/patients and their respective callus samples shall be assessed for all the variables/parameters [Anthropometric and Microscopic] only at the time of their reporting to the OPD/IPD i.e. at the baseline. No follow-up is going to be done in this study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcomes of this project study is as follows: 1. To study the fractures patterns in patients reporting at varying periods of time to the orthopedic OPD. 2. To study the fractures patterns in different age groups in patients reporting to orthopedic OPD. Timepoint: For the above-mentioned secondary outcomes of this project study, all the patients & their callus samples will be assessed for the variables/parameters [anthropometric & microscopic] only at the time of their reporting to the OPD/IPD, i.e. at the baseline. No follow up shall be done in this study.
