    Clinical pharmacy developed at the end of the 20th century in the United States of America, the undisclosed purpose of which is to expand the role of the pharmacist profession and to optimize patient-specific drug therapy. This change in attitude gave rise to the definition of pharmaceutical care, which gained ground both in the clinic and in public drug supply. While the effects of pharmaceutical care on the health care system can be better examined in the case of public drug supply chains with a larger number of patients, the role of care provided by clinical pharmacists in institutions providing orthopedic care has been little investigated, even though the available studies have yielded positive results regarding the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care.
