Why is it important to have good communication between the pta and the orthopedic surgeon?

Physical therapy: By pta i'm guessing you mean a physical therapy assistant? By and large the physical therapists and physical therapy assistants can take standard orders from an orthopedic surgeon, often standardized based on the surgery or the condition, and individualize treatment for the patient. Good communication is important if there are problems or if the pt/pta has questions about a particular case.

For one thing-: -PT tends to be too aggressive it an orthopedic surgeon does directly own or has no in-house PT . Other times the exercise or passive movements is not done correctly, so it’s very important.
