Master Techniques in Orthopedic Surgery : Fractures 2/e

Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery: Fractures

ANNOTATION
The book contains predominantly color illustrations, with some black-
and-white illustrations.
This new volume of the prestigious Master Techniques in Orthopaedic
Surgery series presents the most advanced and successful surgical
techniques for treatment of fractures of the upper extremity, lower
extremity, pelvis, and acetabulum. The book is written by the leading
surgeons, who discuss each surgical procedure as if they were working
side by side with the reader:explaining the indications and rationale
for the procedure, giving step-by-step instructions on technique,
identifying pitfalls and potential complications, and offering
valuable tips for improving surgical results. This volume is
thoroughly illustrated with full-color intraoperative photographs, as
well as drawings by a noted medical illustrator.

FROM THE CRITICS
Dennis Mess
This is one of a ten-volume series providing an in-depth surgical
technique atlas. Each technique is presented by an acknowledged
master. The stated purpose is to help the practitioner deal with
common surgical problems. The target audience is orthopedic surgeons
and residents. This book is loaded with exquisite drawings and color
intraoperative photos that provide a step by step surgical
instruction manual. The section on local muscle flaps in most
helpful. This volume is far and away the best of its type. I have
seen many similar books but this is the ""master."" I highly
recommend this entire series to any surgeon and all hospital or
training program libraries.
