Atlas Of Anatomy And Surgical Approaches In Orthopaedic Surgery Vol 2

Developed from video recordings made with state-of-the-art cameras in master surgeons' operating rooms, this innovative full-color atlas/DVD package provides a true-to-life, step-by-step tutorial on 37 common orthopaedic surgical procedures. An atlas featuring vivid intraoperative photographs, plus surgical drawings and "how-to" instructions rich in clinical pearls, is supplemented by an interactive multimedia DVD featuring 1 hour of real-time narrated video. The atlas depicts every step of each procedure, with succinct, bulleted text that covers anatomy, classification, equipment/instruments, patient positioning, incision, pearls and pitfalls, surgical approach, and technique. The DVD video demonstrates maneuvers that are difficult to show with still photos.

A comprehensive compendium of most of the approaches required by the orthopedic surgeon, with an informative text supported by simple, anatomically accurate line drawings. Thirteen contributed chapters cover the hip, femur, knee, tibia and fibula, ankle, foot, spine, major neurovascular bundles, shoulder, humerus, elbow, forearm, and wrist and hand. For surgical trainees undertaking orthopedic procedures, and surgical postgraduate examinees and their teachers who may need to update their confidence with unfamiliar approaches.

Featuring 775 full-color illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches used in orthopaedics and provides a surgeon's-eye view of the relevant anatomy. Each chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, gives a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection. The Fourth Edition describes new minimally invasive approaches to the spine, proximal humerus, humeral shaft, distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal tibia. Other highlights include new external fixation approaches for many regions and surgical approaches to the os calcis. New illustrations of the appendicular skeleton are included. New drawings show the important neurovascular structures that need to be protected.
