Physiotherapy Assessment of Patients Referred to Orthopaedic Surgeon

24. oktober 2014 opdateret af: Vastra Gotaland Region

Does Orthopaedic Manual Therapy Assessment of Patients Referred to Orthopaedic Surgeon Bring Any Changes to Referral Routines, Patient Satisfaction and Health-related Variables?

Many patients with musculoskeletal pain in primary healthcare are referred to orthopaedic surgeon, however, a relatively low percentage of these patients are considered suitable for orthopaedic intervention.

Physiotherapists are suitable for musculoskeletal assessments and are used as such in many countries i.e. Advanced Practice Physiotherapists or Extended Scope Physiotherapists, however, this is not an existing model of care in Sweden. To be able to consider this model for implementation in Sweden it is necessary to evaluate it from a healthcare as well as from a patient perspective.

The study is a randomised controlled trial. Overall aim is to evaluate if a orthopaedic manual therapy assessment (physiotherapy) assessment of patients referred to orthopaedic surgeon bring any changes to referral routines, patient satisfaction and health-related variables when compared to standard practice.

Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Physiotherapy screening

Screening consisted of a 60-min appointment including assessment, diagnosis and management. The patients received advice regarding ergonomics, exercises and/or treatment when needed. Management options were;

  • Referral for orthopaedic surgeon consultation.
  • Referral back to the patient's General Practitioner.
  • Referral for further investigation.
  • Referral to the physiotherapy or the occupational therapy clinic.

Aktiv komparator: Standard practice (orthopaedic surgeon)

Appointment was 15 min, including assessment, diagnosis and management. The patients received advice, prescriptions or injections when needed. Management options were;

  • Referral for orthopaedic intervention.
  • Referral back to the patient's General Practitioner.
  • Referral for further investigation.
  • Referral to the physiotherapy or the occupational therapy clinic.
