The authors of this economic and decision analysis tackle a controversial topic: whether giving patients with neck and back pain direct access to physical therapy, without a medical referral, leads to lower costs of care. They also compare clinical outcomes in the medical-referral and direct-access groups.

Webinar on Dec. 13—Patient Satisfaction After ACL Surgery
An estimated 300,000 ACL surgeries are performed in the US annually, at an estimated cost of up to $1 billion, but we still have many unanswered questions about patient satisfaction after these procedures. Among them:
- Does the cost of postoperative physical therapy affect patient satisfaction?
- What are the rates and predictors of return to play after ACL reconstruction? Does graft choice play a role?
- What is the relationship between return to play and patient satisfaction?
On Wednesday, December 13, 2017 at 8:00 PM EST, the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) and The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) will host a complimentary* LIVE webinar that addresses these and other important questions.
JOSPT co-author Caitlin J. Miller, PT, DPT and JBJS co-author Benedict U. Nwachukwu, MD, MBA, will discuss findings from their respective studies, and the webinar will include additional insights from Mark V. Paterno, PT, PhD, MBA, SCS, ATC, and Elizabeth Matzkin, MD. Moderated by Tara Jo Manal, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, FAPTA, the webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session between the audience and panelists.
Seats are limited so REGISTER NOW.
*All registrants will have free access to the webinar for 24 hours following the live broadcast.
Patient Satisfaction After ACL Reconstruction—Dec. 13 Webinar
We still have many unanswered questions about patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
- Do specific patient populations benefit from more or fewer physical therapy (PT) visits?
- Does the cost of PT affect patient satisfaction?
- Should patients be classified by factors beyond their medical diagnoses to achieve the best outcomes while minimizing costs?
- What are the rates and predictors of return to play after ACL reconstruction? Does graft choice play a role?
- What is the relationship between return to play and patient satisfaction?
On Wednesday, December 13, 2017 at 8:00 PM EST, the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT) and The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) will host a complimentary* LIVE webinar that addresses these important and clinically applicable questions.
JOSPT co-author Caitlin J. Miller, PT, DPT, will share the results of a retrospective cohort study examining the relationship between patient demographics, number of physical therapy visits, and the cost of postoperative interventions with revision rates and patient-reported outcomes following primary ACL reconstruction.
JBJS co-author Benedict U. Nawachukwu, MD, MBA, will discuss findings from a study of return to play and patient satisfaction among athletes following ACL reconstruction. This study also explores the efficacy of patellar tendon autografts and the preinjury impact of certain sports.
Moderated by Tara Jo Manal, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, FAPTA, a leading authority on the spine and the knee, the webinar will include additional insights from expert commentators Mark V. Paterno, PT, PhD, MBA, SCS, ATC, and Elizabeth Matzkin, MD. The last 15 minutes will be devoted to a live Q&A session between the audience and panelists.

JBJS/JOSPT Webinar–Treating Ankle Sprains and Instability
Ankle sprain is a common musculoskeletal injury throughout the world, affecting tens of thousands of patients daily. What treatments for lateral inversion ankle injury are most effective? When is a wait-and-see approach more beneficial than a training program, and functional interventions more appropriate than surgical treatment? What surgical interventions yield better outcomes for function and instability compared with conservative treatment, particularly when the calcaneofibular ligament is disrupted, and does one postoperative regimen produce better results than another?
On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 5:00 PM EDT, these intriguing and clinically applicable questions will be addressed during a complimentary* LIVE webinar, hosted jointly by The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) and the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT).
