Whiplash syndrome. Fact or fiction?

A sprain/strain syndrome or "whiplash injury" is the most common cervical injury associated with rear-end impact motor vehicle accidents. This results in a complex injury, often associated with extensive soft tissue injury in the cervical spine. There is additional potential for long term alteration in neurologic, muscular, and skeletal function. Evaluation and treatment should follow standard orthopedic principles.

The computer. An orthopedic instrument.

The computer has become an important tool in orthopedic practice. Indeed, it is now invaluable and will soon be essential. It is still possible to run an orthopedic office without a computer--just as it is still possible to perform meniscectomy by arthrotomy--but that is not what most of us would do. The computer enhances efficiency, can improve business practice, assists in marketing, and helps store and retrieve medical information. The ultimate impact is not only on "business" functions but also on the quality of care.
