Improving Patient Outcomes in Orthopedic Injuries: The Importance of Radiology, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Nutrition

Abstract

Introduction: With millions of instances documented worldwide, orthopedic injuries that are common in clinical practice include fractures, sprains and strains, dislocations, and other musculoskeletal injuries. To guarantee the greatest outcomes for the patient, a team approach may be used in the management and treatment of various injuries.

Aim of work: To emphasize the synergistic roles of radiology, pharmacy, physical therapy, and nutrition, highlighting how each discipline contributes uniquely to patient recovery and the prevention of long-term complications.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in the MEDLINE database's electronic literature using the following search terms: Improving, Patient Outcomes, Orthopedic Injuries, Radiology, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Nutrition.The search was restricted to publications from 2016to 2024 in order to locate relevant content. We performed a search on Google Scholar to locate and examine academic papers that pertain to my subject matter. The selection of articles was impacted by certain criteria for inclusion.

Results: The publications analyzed in this study encompassed from 2016 to 2024. The study was structured into various sections with specific headings in the discussion section.

Conclusion:In summary, an integrated strategy is preferred for the treatment of orthopedic problems. Significant contributions and coordination to improve patient benefits are made by radiography, pharmacy, physical therapy, and nutrition services. Since healthcare will continue to evolve over the next 20 years, it is impossible to overstate the importance of integrated care delivery, particularly when it comes to improving recovery rates for patients with orthopedic injuries.
