    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • Prosthetics and orthotics are uniquely classified under orthopedic surgery in German-speaking countries, unlike in other regions where they fall under physical and rehabilitation medicine.
    • This classification places the entire patient management spectrum, from diagnostics to surgical and conservative treatments and rehabilitation, under the purview of the orthopedic surgeon.

    Discussion:

    • The special issue focuses on prosthetics, orthotics, and related surgical procedures as components of orthopedic surgery.
    • This initiative stems from a 1993 campaign aimed at advancing and promoting the prosthetics and orthotics specialty within orthopedics.

    Key Insights:

    • The distinct categorization of prosthetics/orthotics within orthopedic surgery in German-speaking regions impacts patient care models.
    • Orthopedic surgeons in these regions manage the complete patient journey, integrating prosthetic and orthotic services.

    Outlook:

    • Continued focus on promoting the prosthetics and orthotics specialty within orthopedic surgery.
    • Potential for comparative studies on patient management models across different medical classifications.
