[Clinical experiences and problems with home medical treatment in an orthopedic clinic].
Twenty-five patients who received home medical treatment were reviewed. There were 11 males and 14 females, with a mean age of 77 years. In an orthopedic clinic, it is difficult to secure the time for to visit a patient's home. Another problem for doctor is that the medical fee for home treatment is very low. To promote home treatment by orthopedists, it is important to secure the time to visit a patient's home, to improve the fees for home treatment, and to establish a connection with a visiting nurse care station and visiting rehabilitation workers.
