Total Knee Replacement (Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee) and Total Hip Replacement (Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip) are very hot political \/ medical topic these days.<\/p>\n
Of course, we all know that physiotherapists effectively treat patients suffering from these conditions for a long time now. For instance, a proper search on the PubMed database for articles treating total hip or knee replacement and physiotherapy, using appropriate Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) \u2013 [for more on PubMed search, register for our free <\/strong>PubMed workshop for PABC members \u2013 that I am beginning to run at the end of this month \u2013 more to come in few days<\/strong>], would reveal 152 studies on the topic – http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/nywqg <\/a><\/p>\n If we limit our search only to a higher level of evidence<\/strong> – Meta-Analysis, Randomized Controlled Trial, and Review level studies, and the last five (5) years of research we still stay with 47 studies – http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/pq8ng<\/a>, very impressive!<\/p>\n But haven\u2019t you wondered about how a surgery itself looks like? Wouldn\u2019t it be helpful to you to see how a knee\/hip is replaced in order to rehabilitate your patients better?<\/p>\n Therefore, today I am posting four (4) links to pre-recorded live webcasts of knee replacement surgical procedures. These are actual operations performed at medical centers in the United States since January 2004. The videos last an hour.<\/p>\n You will need RealPlayer to view the programs.
