MOTIV™ and the Next Frontier of Orthopaedic Evidence Generation: A New Model for Physician-Led Clinical Research

MOTIV™ – Musculoskeletal Outcomes and Tracking Intelligence Vault – is an initiative is designed to help orthopaedic physicians participate more directly in real-world evidence generation across all practice settings. The surgeon contributors define the clinically relevant questions and supply the ground-truth observations from their own care. MOTIV™ connects the initiative to the broader mission of advancing orthopaedic research. This article was developed through a collaborative initiative between the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) and RegenMed to advance physician-led, real-world evidence generation in musculoskeletal care.
