Enriched by original anatomical artworks this atlas comprehensively presents the diverse orthopaedic approaches to lower limb surgery. Combining clear visual information with a consistent and concise structure, including tips, tricks and pitfalls, this manual presents all the most used approaches in orthopaedic prosthetic surgery and traumatology. Ranging from the hip to the ankle each chapter includes a clear presentation of the joint’ s anatomy, with particular emphasis on vessels, nerves and other relevant anatomic structures. Beautiful water-colour illustrations realized by one of the authors accompany the reader step-by-step through each of the approaches described. This atlas offers a timely and up-to-date resource for both practicing and fellow orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in lower limb surgery.

A comprehensive compendium of most of the approaches required by the orthopedic surgeon, with an informative text supported by simple, anatomically accurate line drawings.

This book is a first-of-its-kind unique atlas that synthesizes a full review of both upper and lower extremity reconstructive options in one text. While there are books that concentrate on local soft tissue coverage and other books that discuss all types of free flaps, this book features a full scope and provides the full spectrum of reconstructive options. It features high-quality pictures and made-just-for-this-text illustrations created by reconstructive surgeons with intimate knowledge of the procedures. This atlas includes a detailed description of each flap and presents high-quality pictures and graphics explaining relevant anatomy. Each chapter offers case presentations accompanied by explanations that describe why doctors select specific reconstructive options; this guides the readers on how to discern which flap to choose in which situation. Comprehensive Atlas of Upper and Lower Extremity: From Primary Closure to Free Tissue Transfer offers a comprehensive tool for plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and some general surgeons who perform simple soft tissue coverage.
