Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study involved managing SCFE on top of an already-fixed femur fracture, which sounds like a very unusual combination — how does my specific situation compare to the case described in this report, and is my anatomy similar enough that the findings might be relevant to me?
2Since this was a case report rather than a large clinical trial, what does that mean for how much confidence we can have in the approach it describes — should I be looking for additional evidence before considering a similar treatment path?
3The study used modified McKay's criteria to measure the outcome — can you explain what that scoring system actually measures and what result the reported case achieved, so I understand whether that outcome would be considered a good result for someone in my situation?
4Because this study is already completed and was a single case report, is there any opportunity to discuss the surgical technique or management strategy it described with a specialist who has experience with complex SCFE cases like this one?
5Given how rare this combination of conditions appears to be, are there other treatment options or standard-of-care approaches I should consider first, and how would you weigh those against what was done in this case report?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
