|
| It is intended as a comprehensive reference of current concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of adults and children with traumatic injuries to the musculoskeletal system. |
|
|
Audience
|
| The audience includes all physicians involved in managing patients with traumatic injuries, in particular, orthopedic surgeons and residents. |
|

| Volume one covers principles and the basic science related to traumatic injuries and fractures of the upper extremity. In volume two, fractures and dislocation of the spine and lower extremity are discussed. The third volume on fractures in children includes four sections on basic principles of upper extremity fractures, spine and lower extremity fractures, diagnosis, and treatment. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| Since the first edition was published in 1975, this has been one of the most popular references for the treatment of traumatic injuries of the musculoskeletal system. This seventh edition includes several new sections to cover the various advances in the management of these injuries. The book is well organized and easy to read and includes excellent photographs and illustrations. Also available online are 20 new videos of surgical procedures. This is an outstanding reference that will be as popular as its previous editions. It is a valuable addition to medical libraries. |
