Primary care providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, physician
assistants) make decisions on a daily basis regarding treatment for
musculoskeletal problems, including referrals to orthopedic
surgeons and other specialists. Despite the large number of
patients presenting with musculoskeletal complaints, primary care
providers often feel poorly educated about how to assess and manage
these conditions. Now in its fully revised second edition,
Principles of Orthopedic Practice for Primary Care Providers
continues to be a go-to resource for clinicians interested in the
effective treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Written by expert
orthopedic, physical medicine and pain management specialists at
major Harvard teaching hospitals, the second edition of Principles
of Orthopedic Practice for Primary Care Providers represents a
high-yield and succinct resource on the assessment and management
of musculoskeletal conditions. Chapters overview specific body
parts, typical presentations of disease, options for diagnostic
testing, treatment paradigms, and anticipated outcomes of
management both in the primary care setting and following
specialist consultation. The text offers suggested pathways for
working up and treating these problems with an emphasis on when
referral to a specialist, or surgical intervention, is needed.
While all previous chapters have been fully revised, this edition
also includes nine brand new chapters, including chapters on pain
management, hip-spine syndrome, adult spinal deformity,
sports-related injuries, and cost and quality in musculoskeletal
care.
