IBRA REC Grant

The IBRA REC Grants are awarded by the IBRA Research & Education Committees (RECs). Each grant
supports a predefined research project and aims to address clinically relevant questions within the
respective specialty.

Scope of supported projects

• Delphi study - Distal ulna fractures – IBRA consensus on treatment
• Key questions include if and when to operate (conservative vs. ORIF), surgical approach, implant
  choice, and immobilisation strategy
• Despite its clinical relevance, no Delphi consensus currently exists for distal ulna fractures
• Establishing such a consensus would help guide clinical decision‑making

• Case series / retrospective study - Optimal management of Wagstaff and Chaput fragments in
  ankle fractures
• These fragments are critical indicators of syndesmotic injury and ankle stability. Inadequate
  treatment can result in malreduction, persistent instability, and poor functional outcomes
• Given the limited literature and the emergence of new implant designs, IBRA is interested in
  documenting the latest advances

Craniomaxillofacial (CMF)

• Delphi study - Treatment algorithm for orbital floor fractures and management of complications
• A wide range of treatment options exists, including PDS foil, titanium meshes, and patient‑specific
  implants
• No established Delphi consensus currently defines a standardised treatment algorithm
• Such a study would provide valuable guidance
