The establishment of the BADER Consortium in 2011 cemented the high expectations for orthopaedic rehabilitation outcomes.
Obtaining the highest level of function is the BADER Consortium’s desired care outcome for every wounded service member with traumatic orthopaedic injury.
Our funded projects aim to meet the challenge of the Department of Defense’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs to unite federal agencies, academia, industry and the clinical community and make lasting transformations in the lives of wounded warriors. The objective is to establish new evidence-based care practices through BADER Consortium’s nationwide clinical research enterprise.
