Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma

Description




This new multimedia reference presents the most current information
on surgical treatments of a wide range of injuries, from complex
pelvic and spinal trauma to periarticular fractures and knee
dislocations. For each injury, the authors guide the reader from the
clinical evaluation, through the decision-making process, and to the
surgical procedure. Each chapter provides a thorough review of
surgical anatomy, streamlined discussion of the classification of the
injury, the non-operative treatments available, and the indications
for surgical treatment. Concise, step-by-step descriptions of
surgical techniques are supplemented by carefully edited videos of
surgical procedures on four accompanying DVDs, containing over 18
hours of video footage.

Highlights of the book:

"Tips and Tricks" summarize key points of each procedure for rapid
review in preparation for surgery

"Exam Pearls" describe injuries, incidence, indications for surgery,
and possible complications and are ideal for board preparation

More than 1,400 photographs, radiographs, and drawings illustrate
techniques

"New Techniques" sections cover the latest innovations for surgical
management

A separate table of contents for the four DVDs and shaded text boxes
throughout the book enable convenient book-to-video reference

Highlights of the DVDs:

Narrated videos of entire surgical procedures provide a window into
the operating room--an invaluable resource for residents and general
orthopaedic surgeons who do not perform trauma procedures regularly

Coverage of state-of-the-art techniques such as locked plating,
minimally invasive fracture fixation, advanced intramedullary nailing
strategies, staged reconstruction of periarticular fractures, new
techniques for hip hemiarthroplasty, surgical management of knee
dislocation, including double bundle ACL and PCL knee reconstruction,
and the use of temporary postoperative hinged external fixation

Each DVD has been professionally produced and features high-quality
audio, special effects, and multiple camera angles for each procedure

Authoritative and comprehensive in its scope, this landmark text will
be an invaluable asset in libraries of all orthopaedic surgeons,
residents, or specialists seeking a comprehensive and didactic
reference.
