“…In the Netherlands, orthopaedic trauma rehabilitation care encompasses in-hospital care, outpatient clinics, and ultimately the patients' home environment. [9][10][11][12] The Dutch system uses a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal transitioning back to function, prioritizing effective communication between health care professionals. However, a national report on continuity of care highlighted concerns about health care sustainability, including rehabilitation care, and proposed a shift from institutional care to home-based care.…”

Trauma is one of the main causes of death in younger people and ongoing disability worldwide. In Europe, while there is generally good organization of trauma reception and acute treatment, rehabilitation from major musculoskeletal injuries is less well defined and provided. This article documents the diverse approaches to rehabilitation after major injury in 6 European nations. The recognition of need is universal, but achieving a robust rehabilitation strategy is more elusive across the varying health care systems. Switzerland has the most robust service in the insured population. In the other countries, particularly where there is a reliance on public institutes, this provision is at best patchy. In the Netherlands, innovative patient-empowering strategies have gained traction with notable success, and in the United Kingdom, a recent randomized trial also showed this approach to be reproducible and robust. Overall, there is a clear need for learning across the national systems and implementation of a minimum set of standards.
