Bring the best available evidence into your orthopedic clinical decisions with Evidence-Based Orthopedics, 2nd edition. This comprehensive, fully revised guide reviews the diagnosis, management, and treatment of orthopedic conditions, covering orthopedic surgery, conditions requiring medical treatment, and pre- and post-operative complications. Practical recommendations connect the evidence to everyday clinical practice.
Key benefits
- Evaluate evidence with greater clarity: Greater emphasis on GRADE—a transparent framework for developing and presenting evidence summaries—helps you assess the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations.
- Make informed decisions, even where evidence is limited: Chapters written by leading clinicians and researchers include evidence tables summarizing systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials, plus summaries of available research where evidence is insufficient to recommend a practice.
- Connect research directly to patient care: A streamlined presentation and improved standardized chapter format emphasize how evidence affects clinical decisions, with recommendations for implementing evidence-based practice.
- Explore thoroughly revised coverage: The second edition incorporates a vast amount of new evidence, a new chapter on pediatric orthopedics, and new X-ray images, reflecting the latest evidence available for the edition using approved evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines and methodology.
- Review surgical approaches and broader treatment needs: Examine different methods for most orthopedic surgical procedures, including hip replacements, arthroscopy, and knee replacements, alongside the evidence base for pediatric orthopedics and orthopedic conditions requiring medical treatment.
- Support a consistent standard of care: A condition-based approach helps surgeons and orthopedic specialists work toward a uniform optimum standard, aligned with internationally accepted guidelines and best health economic principles.
