Abstract

As the scope of podiatric surgery expands, the relative roles and outcomes of orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists need to be defined. With growing demand for foot and ankle services, the roles of podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons are increasingly overlapping. Few studies have examined the overlapping scope of practice of each of the groups or compared the relative costs and outcomes associated with each.

摘要

随着足病外科学范围的扩大，骨科医生和足病医生的相对角色及治疗效果需要明确界定。随着对足踝治疗服务需求的不断增长，足病医生和骨科医生的角色越来越重叠。很少有研究探讨过这两个群体各自重叠的业务范围，或比较与之相关的相对成本和治疗效果。
