Fractures Of The Pelvis And Acetabulum

The fourth edition of this well-known and highly regarded book by Marvin Tile et al. is now a two-volume set of books based on the AO principles of operative management of fractures, as applied to the pelvis and acetabulum. With the collaboration of over 80 international expert surgeons and through hundreds of images and illustrations, each volume emphasizes decision making based on the assessment of the personality of the injury through the patients history, physical examination, and interpretation of radiographic investigations. Access to video presentations demonstrating surgical approaches and reduction techniques performed by world-renowned experts is included.

Representing the vanguard in the field with practical case studies, authoritative recommendations, and a collection of best practices in operative and non-operative treatment, this reference offers step-by-step guidance in the correction and care of fractures affecting the actabulum and pelvis. Detailing procedures in pre- and postoperative plannin

It has been a pleasure to comply with requests to publish this book in English. During the intervening years, there has been little to add to our views as to the best management of acetabular fractures, but an additional chapter has been incorporated comprising recent findings in our patients and slight changes in emphasis on the indications for operations. Additionally, having recognised that one of the greatest difficulties in this method of treatment lies in the pre-operative assessment of the standard radiographs, we have prepared a short series of radiographs which the reader may find advantageous for study. We are grateful to Mr. Reginald Eison who has translated and revised the French edition. Considerable alteration of the text and the general presen tation was necessary in order to make the material palatable in English. Our thanks are due to our new publishers, Springer-Verlag, for their keen interest and skill. E. LETOURNEL R. JUDET Preface to the French Edition It is a long time since we first attempted surgical treatment of fractures of the acetabulum accompanied by displacement, with the aim of restoring perfect articulation. Such treatment demands an exact reconstitution of the anatomy of the acetabulum and pelvic bone. This volume comprises an account of our efforts to assess the place of open reduction and internal fixation of displaced fractures of the acetabulum. The principal aim is simple: the perfect restoration of the articular surface and the associated bony architecture.

Treatment strategies for fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum have improved dramatically over the years. In this text, you'll find valuable information for successfully managing these conditions from an experienced master surgeon who shares his extensive knowledge of the field. The book uses hundreds of illustrations, plates, and legends to demonstrate important concepts and surgical procedures. The book leads you through the entire management process, beginning with the necessary anatomic background and then proceeding to diagnosis and surgery for a wide range of conditions. It's filled with valuable information on fracture types, proper instrumentation, imaging studies, complication avoidance, and more. Special features include: Valuable advice from a renowned expert on treating fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum Full coverage of the entire management process -- anatomy, diagnosis, classification, decision making, and results Each chapter begins with a helpful abstract providing a quick reference to essential information Abundantly illustrated to depict the surgical techniques and enhance the learning process Instructions on how to perform even the most complex procedures For all orthopedists who treat fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum, this book is an essential professional resource. It is a remarkable graphic and pictorial atlas that belongs on the bookshelf of every specialist!

This book provides in-depth coverage of all aspects of pelvic ring fractures and their management. The opening chapters supply essential information on surgical anatomy, biomechanics, classification, clinical evaluation, radiological diagnostics, and emergency and acute management. The various operative techniques, including navigation techniques, that have been established and standardized over the past two decades are then presented in a step-by-step approach. Readers will find guidance on surgical indications, choice of approaches, reduction and fixation strategies, complication management, and optimization of long-term results. Specific treatment concepts are described for age-specific fractures, including pediatric and geriatric injuries, and secondary reconstructions. Pelvic ring fractures represent challenging injuries, especially when they present with concomitant hemodynamic instability. This book will help trauma and orthopaedic surgeons at all levels of experience to achieve the primary treatment aim of anatomic restoration of the bony pelvis to preserve biomechanical stability and avoid malunion with resulting clinical impairments.
