Ao Manual Of Fracture Management Hand And Wrist

In the last quarter century, no one has played a stronger role in hand and wrist fracture management, especially using AO principles, than Jesse Jupiter. This long awaited book is the culmination of his work, along with other pioneers in the field, and presents all key developments in biomechanics, design, materials, and state-of-the-art AO techniques. Organized in a case-based format, the book focuses on fractures of the hand, scaphoid, and distal radius (including soft-tissue injuries). For each case, you'll review patient history, planning, approach, reduction, fixation, and rehabilitation, along with hundreds of full-color illustrations, intraoperative pictures, and x-rays. Online access to videos demonstrating step-by-step intraoperative procedures is included with the book. Along with detailed surgical techniques, you'll also find a wealth of guidelines on indications, choice of surgical approach, preoperative planning, and postoperative management. This is a book no orthopedic surgeon should be without.

Online access to narrated intraoperative videos and animations included!

Offers hand-on approach to the treatment of key fractures of the hand, scaphoid, and distal radius (including soft-tissue injuries). The content is based on case studies, and each case study provides step-by-step explanations of case history, planning, approach, reduction, fixation and rehabilitation. Hundreds of full-color illustrations, intraoperative pictures, and x-rays demonstrate every step of the operating techniques and methods used.

Comprehensive case-based approach to elbow and forearm fracture management Edited by the premier surgeon on problems of the upper extremity, Elbow and Forearm is a concise yet comprehensive step-by-step guide to managing a wide range of fracture patterns, both simple and complex. All content is based on actual clinical cases featuring numerous highly instructive radiographs, color photos and illustrations. Distinguished by its accessible, easy-to-read format, this book skillfully covers in detail everything from functional anatomy, indications, fracture patterns and surgical exposures to contemporary implants and postoperative management. Features: Clinical insights from experts in the field Consistent presentation of each case for ease of use Pearls and pitfalls for every procedure Valuable information on the methods of essential early physical therapy Coverage of reconstructive problems such as nonunion, malunion, instability, bone loss, and infection Discussion of the latest technology, including angular stable locking plates Handy as a rapid reference for trauma surgeons, hand and upper limb surgeons and residents in training, this book offers solid support in decision-making and puts information on reliable and tested techniques instantly at the surgeon's fingertips.

The Manual of Fracture Management – Wrist examines the management of traumatic and reconstructive problems of the distal radius, distal ulna, and the carpals, the key components of the human wrist. In a rapidly changing field of practice, orthopedic care of wrist fractures and disorders is becoming ever more complex as new technologies, plates, and methods merge and evolve with existing principles and techniques. Ideal for both new and experienced hand, forearm, and upper extremity surgeons, the Manual of Fracture Management – Wrist includes the following key features: Case descriptions and treatment options for a wide variety of fracture and injury types, nonunions and malunions, osteoarthritis, and postoperative complications More than 2,000 high-quality illustrations and clinical images Access to an online video library of the key wrist surgical approaches. As with the recently published Manual of Fracture Management – Hand, this publication comprises two major sections: an indepth outline of the major surgical approaches and principles used in wrist surgery, and a detailed description of common to complicated treatment procedures using clinical images from real patient cases. The reader might already have an understanding of the principles of bone healing and basic orthopedic surgery, however, the use of real cases for enhanced illustration adds an immediate and interesting touch to learning and is used to show the recommended procedure and when providing an alternative perspective. AOTrauma is proud to bring you this worthwhile and highly informative medical text.

The management of traumatic and reconstructive problems of the hand has become an ever more complex field. Advances in basic science and technology together with a growth in clinical expertise have resulted in recent dramatic changes in many of the implants, instruments, and techniques used in modern hand surgery. Manual of Fracture Management–Hand by Jesse Jupiter, Fiesky Nuñez, and Renato Fricker is a principally case-based publication designed to instruct and introduce new technologies and methods to both new and experienced hand surgeons. The book's key features include: Detailed case descriptions and recommended treatment options for a wide variety of fracture and injury types, from spiral to transverse, and multifragmentary to malunion, involving the proximal middle and distal phalanges of the fingers and thumb, the metacarpals, and the joints More than 2250 high-quality illustrations and clinical images Access to an online video library of dozens of hand surgery approaches and clinical demonstrations. Using the principles and techniques developed by leading surgical specialists from the renowned AO Foundation, AOTrauma is proud to bring you this exciting update, which will be an ideal resource for trauma and orthopedic surgery professionals, residents in training, and medical students around the world.

Includes interactive CD-ROM! This is the first compendium of principles of using locking compression plates in fracture management. With more than 100 cases from world-leading surgeons, including the inventors of the technique, this book will guide orthopedic trauma surgeons, general orthopedists, and residents through applications of the internal fixator technique. Intraoperative photos and illustrations and an interactive DVD containing additional cases, animations, and videos make this AO Manual an indispensable reference.
