Evidence-Based Orthopedics is an up-to-date review of the best
evidence for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of orthopedic
conditions. Covering orthopedic surgery as well as pre- and
post-operative complications, this comprehensive guide provides
recommendations for implementing evidence-based practice in the clinical
setting. Chapters written by leading clinicians and researchers in the
field are supported by tables of evidence that summarize systematic
reviews and randomized controlled trials. In areas where evidence is
insufficient to recommend a practice, summaries of the available
research are provided to assist in decision-making.
This fully revised new edition reflects the most recent evidence using
the approved evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines and methodology.
The text now places greater emphasis on GRADE--a transparent framework
for developing and presenting summaries of evidence--to allow readers to
easily evaluate the quality of evidence and the strength of
recommendations. The second edition offers a streamlined presentation
and an improved standardized format emphasizing how evidence in each
chapter directly affects clinical decisions. Incorporating a vast amount
of new evidence, Evidence-Based Orthopedics:
- Features thoroughly revised and updated content, including a new
chapter on pediatric orthopedics and new X-ray images
- Provides the evidence base for orthopedic surgery as well as pediatric
orthopedics and orthopedic conditions requiring medical treatment
- Covers the different methods for most orthopedic surgical procedures,
such as hip replacements, arthroscopy, and knee replacements
- Helps surgeons and orthopedic specialists achieve a uniform optimum
standard through a condition-based approach
Aligns with internationally accepted guidelines and best health economic
principles Evidence-Based Orthopedics is an invaluable resource for
orthopedic specialists, surgeons, trauma surgeons, trainees, and medical
students.
