Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation: A Team Approach 4th Edition by Charles E Giangarra MD , Robert C. Manske PT DPT SCS MEd ATC CSCS

Evidence suggests a direct correlation between the quality of postoperative orthopaedic rehabilitation and the effectiveness of the surgery. Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, 4th 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. Charles Giangarra, MD and Robert Manske, PT continue the commitment to excellence established by Dr. S. Brent Brotzman in previous editions, bringing a fresh perspective to the team approach to rehabilitation.

• 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.
• 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).
