Handbook of orthopaedic rehabilitation

Bok av S Brent Brotzman
Orthopaedic surgeons are increasingly involved in the planning of post-surgical rehabilitation of patients as evidence mounts that the quality of postoperative rehabilitation directly correlates to the effectiveness of that surgery. With the emergence of evidence based medicine in orthopaedic surgery and its effect on healthcare reimbursement, rehabilitation plans are increasing in importance. What's more, the need for rehabilitation increases as an aging population participates in more activities and sustains more injuries.
