Ortopædisk kirurgi varetager forebyggelse, diagnostik og behandling af lidelser i ekstremiteter og columna. Faget er centralt placeret i behandlingen af medfødte, traumatologiske, udviklingsbetingede, degenerative, infektiøse og neoplastiske lidelser i bevægeapparatet.

Herudover spiller den ortopædkirurgiske speciallæge en central rolle ved behandling af den svært tilskadekomne patient. Faget har i de senere år gennemgået en betydelig subspecialisering med dannelse af 9 fagområder. Der er i dag ansat overlæger, der udelukkende beskæftiger sig indenfor disse: Håndkirurgi, børneortopædi, skulder- og albuekirurgi, rygkirurgi, idrætstraumatologi, knæ- og hoftealloplastik, traumatologi, tumorkirurgi og herunder amputations- og infektionskirurgi og endelig fod- og ankelkirurgi.

Ortopædisk kirurgi er det største kirurgiske speciale i Danmark med en årlig registrering af ca. 75.000 operative indgreb i landspatientregistret. De senest år har der været en betydelig udvikling i sygehusstrukturen med sammenlægning af sygehuse og oprettelse af større funktionsbærende enheder samtidigt med etablering af elektive klinikker.

Den ortopædiske forskningsaktivitet dækker bredt fra ulykkesprofylakse over klinisk forskning til eksperimentel ortopædi. Faget besidder aktuelt 7 professorater. Dansk ortopædisk grundforskning er placeret på verdenskortet indenfor flere områder og igennem de seneste år er der etableret tværfagligt forskningssamarbejde både nationalt og internationalt.

Der er etableret landsregistre for kvalitetssikring af kunstige hofte- og knæled og discusprolapsoperationer.

This text discusses range of motion measurements, laxity testing, shoulder instability and presents critical analysis of the usefulness and accuracy of examination practices. Thorough and accessible, this text is ideal for all clinicians called upon to perform shoulder exams and interpret findings.
An accompanying DVD contains narrated footage of the examination techniques described in the text for easy comprehension and review. You will also find examples of abnormal findings and biomechanical models demonstrating the complexity of shoulder motion. No orthopaedic surgeon, orthopaedic resident, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or specialist treating the shoulder should be without this outstanding text and DVD.

Foddoktor
Foreningen bag foddoktor.dk hedder Fodforum.
Baggrunden for etablering af fodforum er at vi i den vestlige verden registrerer et tiltagende antal livsstilssygdomme, som hovedsagelig skyldes for lidt fysisk aktivitet i den moderne livsstil. Fysisk arbejde er i høj grad overtaget af maskiner på såvel arbejdsmarkedet, trafikområdet som i hjemmet. Derfor opfordres fra alle sider til øget fysisk aktivitet, hvilket forudsætter et velfungerende bevægeapparat. Indskrænket fysisk aktivitet i fritiden skyldes ofte belastningsrelaterede smerter i ben eller ryg.
Et stort flertal af disse smertetilstande skyldes fejlbelastning af ben eller ryg. Fejlbelastning skyldes ofte fejlstilling eller uhensigtsmæssige bevægemønstre i fod, ben eller ryg. Fejlstillinger i foden bevirker hele bevægeapparatet, hvilket kan føre til fejlbelastningsskader i knogler, led, muskler og sener - skader, der kan føre til kronisk invaliditet.

"Foot and Ankle Disorders", Thieme

For each operation, you'll find notes, clear and simplified drawings, tips, and pitfalls, all designed to make even the most challenging surgery seem easy.
Special benefits:

• Simplifies all concepts with succinct, to-the-point text
• Annotated drawings allow you to grasp the procedure at a glance
• Pitfalls describe typical problems and strategies for avoiding them
• Guidelines help explain procedures to patients and obtain informed consent

Here is the valuable text all orthopaedists, podiatrists, and residents who perform foot and ankle procedures need to expand their surgical armamentarium.

"Handbook of Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, 2nd edition", Mosby
Orthopaedic surgeons are increasingly involved in the planning of post-surgical rehabilitation of patients as evidence mounts that the quality of postoperative rehabilitation directly correlates to the effectiveness of that surgery. With the emergence of evidence based medicine in orthopaedic surgery and its effect on healthcare reimbursement, rehabilitation plans are increasing in importance. What’s more, the need for rehabilitation increases as an aging population participates in more activities and sustains more injuries.

"Idrætsskadebogen", FADL's Forlag
Idrætsskadebogen giver for første gang en samlet, grundig gennemgang af forebyggelse, behandling og genoptræning af idrætsskader. Idrætskader, der koster samfundet millioner af kroner...
Hensigten med bogen er at give en hånd til behandlersystemet, så man fokuserer tydeligere på helhed. Det handler om at forhindre flest mulige idrætsskader, så idrætsfolk skånes for unødige lidelser.
Eliteidrætsfolk bliver alt for ofte hæmmet i karrieren eller må helt stoppe med at udøve deres sport pga. en idrætsskade. Alt for mange idrætsfolk kommer tilbage efter en skade, før de er klar, hvilket i værste tilfælde kan føre til delvis invaliditet. Manglende forebyggelse samt forkert eller utilstrækkelig behandling af idrætsskader er desuden en af de store årsager til fravær på arbejdsmarkedet.
Bogen henvender sig først og fremmest til alle behandlere af idrætsskader, idrætsinstruktører på højt niveau i alle idrætsgrene samt idrætsfolk, der tager deres træning seriøst. Desuden er bogen anvendelig for den alment interesserede læser og motionist.
Forfatterne er rekrutteret blandt de ledende behandlere af idrætsskader i landet, og udgivelsen er officielt støttet af Danmarks Idræts Forbund. Inden udgivelsen er bogen allerede solgt til udgivelse i Sverige.
