Notes:
was used for surgical questions. Adapt the building block for use in other specialties (e.g. replace terms for "non-surgical" with terms for "non-pharmacological" when comparative treatment is pharmacological). Specific terms like brace*, sling*, immobilizat*, bed rest etc. should be added when applicable.
