Book description
Surgical orthopedic procedures such as hip replacements, arthroscopy or
knee replacements are surrounded by pre- and post-operative
complications, and there are varying different methods for the
procedures themselves. This book, for the first time, brings together
the best evidence for treatments as well as any complications. Not only
does it cover the evidence base for orthopedic surgery, but also
orthopedic conditions requiring medical treatment, and pediatric
orthopedics. Using the approved EBM methodology, and edited by teachers
of evidence-based medicine, this is a genuine EBM textbook for all
orthopedic specialists and trainees.
