CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDIC REHABILITATION
Charles E. Giangarra, MD | Robert C. Manske, PT, DPT, MED, SCS, ATC, CSCS
Make the most of your team’s approach to orthopaedic rehabilitation. Evidence suggests a direct correlation between the quality of postoperative orthopaedic rehabilitation and the effectiveness of the surgery. Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, Fourth Edition, helps today’s orthopaedic teams apply the most effective, evidence-based protocols for maximizing return to function following common sports injuries and post surgical conditions. Dr. Charles E. Giangarra and Dr. Robert C. Manske continue the commitment to excellence established by Dr. S. Brent Brotzman in previous editions, bringing a fresh perspective to the team approach to rehabilitation. 1. Every section is written by a combination of surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, making this respected text a truly practical “how-to” guide for the appropriate initial exam, differential diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
2. Revised content brings you up-to-date with new evidence-based literature on examination techniques, classification systems, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and criteria- based rehabilitation protocols.
3. Extensive updates throughout include new chapters on medial patellofemoral ligament, shoulder impingement, pectoralis major ruptures, thoracic outlet syndrome, general humeral fractures, foot and ankle fractures, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, the arthritic hip, athletic publica, and labral repair and reconstruction.
4. Treatment and rehabilitation protocols are presented in a step-by-step algorithmic format with each new phase begun after criteria are met (criteria-based progression, reflecting current best practice).
5. Easy-to-follow videos demonstrate rehabilitation procedures of frequently seen orthopaedic conditions and commonly used exercises, and new full-color images complement the highly visual nature of the text.
