An objective analysis of composite free flap donor site morbidity in head and neck surgery: Prospective series.

Background: A poor evidence basis exists regarding the objective donor site morbidity associated with osseous free flap harvest. This study prospectively assessed the objective donor site morbidity associated with osseous free flap harvest for the fibula, scapula, and iliac crest (DCIA) donor sites.

Methods: A single-site, prospective cohort clinical research study was conducted.

Fostering patient uptake of recommended health services and self-management strategies for musculoskeletal conditions: A Delphi study of clinician attributes.

Clinicians have a strong influence on patient uptake behaviours. Both clinicians and educators need to recognise the clinician's influence on patient uptake as a specific clinical skillset to be professionally developed.
