REVAMPING Rehabiliation Orthopaedic

BY DR KAREN PHILLIPS

Improved patient outcome following orthopedic surgery is of primary importance to the Orthopedic team. Post operative rehabilitation irrespective of the modality is critical in this regard. Though an optimal rehabilitation strategy has yet to be determined, it is clear from existing evidence that early rehabilitation, high intensity and high velocity exercise may be successful forms of rehabilitation

Rehabilitation following orthopedic surgery may be carried out in the home environment, in an outpatient clinic or in the inpatient setting Though personal factors may influence the setting in which rehabilitation is carried out, it is important to note that patient outcome can be similar in all settings, however the benefits of inpatient rehabilitation are significant and include:

1. Comprehensive care and support by an expert multidisciplinary team

2. Reduction in the risks of complications

3. Improvement in pain management

4. More intensive therapy sessions
