Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Trauma, 2ed

Orthopaedics and orthopaedic trauma are highly complex subjects that can prove difficult to quantify, but accurate measurement is required for setting standards of care and for assessing the severity of an injury. This book will help the reader assess outcome instruments, and provides many references to sources of instruments and techniques to use. It aims to assist the reader in making an informed selection from the different scoring systems available.

Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Trauma is a combined and fully revised new edition of the highly regarded Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Outcome Measures in Trauma, the first books devoted to the topic of outcome measures for orthopaedic and trauma surgeons and researchers.
