Evidence-Based Orthopedics is an up-to-date review of the best evidence for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of orthopedic conditions. Covering orthopedic surgery as well as pre- and post-operative complications, this comprehensive guide provides recommendations for implementing evidence-based practice in the clinical setting. Chapters written by leading clinicians and researchers in the field are supported by tables of evidence that summarize systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials. In areas where evidence is insufficient to recommend a practice, summaries of the available research are provided to assist in decision-making.This fully revised new edition reflects the most recent evidence using the approved evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines and methodology. The text now places greater emphasis on GRADE—a transparent framework for developing and presenting summaries of evidence—to allow readers to easily evaluate the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. The second edition offers a streamlined presentation and an improved standardized format emphasizing how evidence in each chapter directly affects clinical decisions. Incorporating a vast amount of new evidence, Evidence-Based Orthopedics: Features thoroughly revised and updated content, including a new chapter on pediatric orthopedics and new X-ray imagesProvides the evidence base for orthopedic surgery as well as pediatric orthopedics and orthopedic conditions requiring medical treatmentCovers the different methods for most orthopedic surgical procedures, such as hip replacements, arthroscopy, and knee replacementsHelps surgeons and orthopedic specialists achieve a uniform optimum standard through a condition-based approachAligns with internationally accepted guidelines and best health economic principles Evidence-Based Orthopedics is an invaluable resource for orthopedic specialists, surgeons, trauma surgeons, trainees, and medical students.

Clinical Research for Surgeons is a practical guide for understanding, planning, conducting, and evaluating surgical research. It covers the principles of evidence-based surgery and applies these principles to the design of suitable research studies. The reader will come to fully understand important concepts such as case-control study, prospective cohort study, randomized trial, and reliability study. The book provides valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published clinical studies, allowing the reader to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and to make effective use of all types of evidence in patient care.Highlights: Insights from experienced surgeons and veteran researchers Easy-to-reference text boxes with Key Concepts, Jargon Simplified, and Examples from the Literature Coverage of both open and minimally-invasive surgical procedures 50 illustrations demonstrating key pointsThis book is a valuable reference for clinicians and residents in a range of disciplines, including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, urology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, interventional radiology, cardiac surgery.

Applying new technologies, presenting your experience, and, of course, thinking of your current practice in the light of new evidence, needs some understanding of clinical research methodology.This book is not a textbook, but a brief guidance for clinical research practice. It aims at bridging the different points of view of statisticians and clinicians, but does not replace personal meetings and discussions between both professions at the earliest step of a clinical study. We hope that you find this book enjoyable, easy to read and understand, and helpful for improving your research skills."Me, the editors, and the authors hope that this book will help you to sort and focus your ideas when setting up a clinical study, and to understand why certain information should be expressed in this or that fashion, how data should be compiled, analyzed, and presented. This book is neither exhaustive nor complete; it just fits better into your daily business." - David L Helfet

A practical, all-inclusive roadmap to understanding and executing advanced surgical researchAdvanced Concepts in Surgical Research is a practical, reader-friendly guide to planning, conducting, and evaluating solid, evidence-based surgical research that leads to high-quality results. Geared to the investigator who has already mastered basic principles, this book focuses on more advanced topics such as randomized controlled trials, survey design, observational studies, meta analyses, statistical concepts, reporting of data, and much more.Special Features: Includes tips and insights from experienced surgical researchers on how to conduct an effective clinical study and avoid pitfallsSupplies hard-to-find information on current topics such as randomization systems and technology and publication biasProvides standardized, easy-to-reference text boxes with highlighted key concepts, on-the-spot definitions of terminology in Jargon Simplified sections, and real-world case examples from the literaturePresents nearly 60 illustrations and tables to help in visualizing key conceptsFilled with proven research methodologies, clinical data, examples, and strategies that can be applied across a wide range of disciplines, Advanced Concepts in Surgical Research illuminates the challenges and solutions of modern day surgical research. It is essential for any clinician undertaking a well-defined, systematic, clinically relevant, and ultimately successful surgical research study.

A novel and indispensable handbook for clinical research coordinators worldwideBecause "saying isn't doing; doing is doing": This fourth volume in Mohit Bhandari's series of methodology books, conceived as a transformational guide to executing research for those who coordinate it on a daily basis, focuses not on the design of research projects, but rather on the actual execution of such projects.Key Features:International group of authors and practicing research coordinators with decades of collective hands-on experienceIncludes many crucial, but often neglected, topics such as principles of successful grant writing, working with study budgets, ethics and consent forms, regulatory versus standard trials, coordinating and conducting observational research and randomized clinical trials, and much moreMany helpful templates and sample forms with checklists, consent forms, budget outlines, and moreA broad readership including scientists, physicians, surgeons, epidemiologists and statisticians, and industry research and development directors will welcome this unique and valuable book.
