What do you think about manipulation under anesthesia?

No clear answer: A lot depends on what condition this is applied for. In general there is very little data supporting it.

Pleasant: The idea of joint manipulation (wrist, elbow, hip and knee) under anesthesia is designed to increase the ability of the surgeon to mobilize the joint, while decreasing the patient's pain. I am not sure that this technique is safe in other manipulations.
