    <strong data-start=”329″ data-end=”442″>In orthopedics and neurosurgery, what happens after the incision is often as important as the surgery itself.

    We spend years refining surgical technique, yet post-surgical healing protocols and patient support systems still vary widely from clinic to clinic.

    Some of the recurring questions I hear from both ortho and neuro colleagues:

    <ul data-start=”677″ data-end=”944″>

  • How do we reduce wound complications without adding more burden to staff?

  • What tools actually keep patients compliant after they leave the OR?

  • Can we create standardized pathways that improve outcomes <strong data-start=”888″ data-end=”895″>and sustain independence for physician-led groups?

  • We’re starting to see encouraging answers:

    <ul data-start=”991″ data-end=”1371″>

  • Preventive adjuncts like collagen dressings have been reducing complications and accelerating closure times.

  • Patient engagement tools — print, digital, and live education — are being built directly into post-op protocols, shifting responsibility off staff.

  • Clinics that adopt these systems are finding they improve patient experience <strong data-start=”1335″ data-end=”1369″>while also protecting margins.

  • It raises an important discussion: <strong data-start=”1408″ data-end=”1515″>Should post-op care protocols be treated with the same rigor and standardization as surgical technique?

    Would love to hear how others are approaching this balance in their practices.
