| Popis: | Assessment of clinical success by radiographic evidence of fracture union and surgeon-rated performance following recovery are the outcome tools of the past. Patients are now involved in the assessment of both surgeon performance and the capacity of the institutions in which they are treated to provide rehabilitation following injury. This population is increasingly involved in trials to guide most appropriate and cost-effective care. With healthcare resources globally under pressure, research focus on patient-rated outcome per unit expenditure is central to orthopedic evidence-based practice. In this era of patient-focused assessment and healthcare economics, quality of life and alterations in this status are central as outcome measures. In order to quantify the return of quality of life following injury, we present a review of the literature pertaining to this fundamental aspect of orthopedic trauma patient care. |
