AB Orthopedic  surgery  encompasses  the  entire  process  of  caring  for  the  surgical  patient,  from  diagnostic  evaluation  to  the  preoperative  evaluation  and  through  the  postoperative  and  rehabilitative  period.  Although  the  surgical  procedure  itself  is  the  key  step  toward  helping  the  patient,  the  preliminary  and  follow-up  care  can  determine  whether  the  surgery  is  successful.
