Textbook Of Orthopaedics And Trauma

Rev. ed. of: Mercer's orthopaedic surgery / edited by Robert B. Duthie and George Bentley. 9th ed. 1996.

This IOA sponsored textbook in 4 volumes covers every conceivable topic, problem, disorder and question on orthopedics particularly in Indian tropical conditions that afflict the human beings. This mammoth creation is an excellent collection of topics written by experienced and knowledgeable orthopedic surgeons. This scholarly work done by the erudite editor is brought out by Indian Orthopedic Association. The contributors have put in the best of their mite to present the latest and most up-to-date knowledge and the recent trends as well as concerns on orthopedic problems in developing countries. The problems associated with Osteosynthesis and recent trends in nailing interlocking have been elaborately described. The common problems of neglected fractures and their management which every surgeon encounters in the practice are well covered. The conditions associated with traumatology and their complications are nicely covered in these 4 volumes. It addresses all the issues and conditions that orthopedicians come across in their daily practice. The collective experiences of the best experts in the field of orthopedics and trauma is provided to the benefit of every student and practitioner so as to alleviate human suffering from their present desperate conditions. The problems about paralytic, poliomyelitis, pyogenic infections of bones and joints, tuberculous disease of bones and joints, mycotic infections, the neural and osteoarticular damage caused by Hansen's infections specially among young children and infants including the newborn are very well explained. These diseases are mostly afflicting the poorer sections of the society. It addresses this challenge to orthopedic surgeons to deal with these diseases and disabilities of the locomotors system. Also the management of polytrauma is adequately described. The subject of this book is the largest speciality of surgery which is fully encompassed in four volumes provides the core knowledge with key concepts and clinical skills needed to excel in every aspect of orthopedics. This book will act as a pathfinder and guide to orthopedic surgeons. In these volumes readers will find concise, clinically focused coverage of the surgical techniques one needs to know to obtain optimal patient management along with relevant anatomy, biomechanics, limb salvage techniques, imaging, arthroscopy, and much more. It is a perfect resource for training and clinical reference. It delivers the practical knowledge of trauma diagnosis and management with a consistent organization by body region, summary tables and boxes and detailed illustrations. An emphasis on evidence based treatment helps to select proven management approaches for every patient.

This is a new 3-volume, major reference work from the Oxford Textbook stable. The Oxford Textbook of Orthopedics and Trauma provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant background science, theory, practice, decision-making skills and operative techniques required to provide modern orthopedic and trauma care. The text is divided into five major sections covering fundamental science, adult orthopedics, trauma, pediatric orthopedics and pediatric trauma. The fundamental science section contains a major subsection on tumors and the adult orthopedics section is further subdivided to cover the joint and bonesystems of the body. Edited by a transatlantic team and written by more than 300 specialist chapter authors, this book is unrivalled in the field. The content is extensively referenced, highly illustrated and contains useful summary boxes throughout the text. The Oxford Textbook of Orthopedics and Trauma is essential reading for trainees and experienced practitioners alike.

Apley & Solomon's Concise System of Orthopaedics and Trauma is firmly established as the leading introductory textbook of orthopaedic practice and the principles of fracture and trauma management. Praised in previous editions for the systematic approach, balanced content and easy-to-read style, this fifth edition has been brought fully up to date under the direction of the new and distinguished authorial team, while remaining true to the teaching principles of Alan Apley and his successor Louis Solomon. Key features: Focused – on diseases and clinical signs with additional detail on anatomy where appropriate International – enhanced coverage of 'global orthopaedics' reflect the changing pattern of musculoskeletal disease and trauma around the world Relevant – provides helpful guidance on simple procedures without unnecessary operative detail Readable – increased emphasis on concise presentation Current – updates reflect developments in molecular biology, genetics and imaging technology This fifth edition remains the first choice for medical students, trainee surgeons and other health professionals seeking a convenient introduction to this large and complex subject and is a natural precursor to the more detailed coverage offered by its larger parent, Apley & Solomon's System of Orthopaedics and Trauma.

This illustrated textbook is an essential and invaluable guide to young clinicians and researchers of Trauma and Orthopaedics, reporting all classification systems which are currently utilised in the clinical setting. It includes classifications relevant to both Elective Orthopaedic Practice and Orthopaedic Trauma. Clear graphic illustrations accompany the description of all different classification schemes in a comprehensive manner, together with a structured presentation of existing clinical evidence. In this manner each chapter of the different anatomical sites and pathologies assists the decision making of the readers regarding treatment strategy as well as informed consent of their patients. It is envisaged that this textbook will be a point of reference not only to the surgeons in training (residents) but also to senior surgeons and academic clinicians.
