Main description:

This text and atlas is a complete guide to the latest advances in orthopaedic surgical procedures.

Divided into ten sections, the book begins with paediatric orthopaedics and congenital conditions. The following chapters cover surgical techniques for disorders in different parts of the musculoskeletal system. The final sections examine bone tumours and plastic surgery.

The comprehensive text includes discussion on new orthopaedic procedures for conditions that were previously considered to be inoperable such as congenital pseudarthrosis, shortening of lower limbs, ankylosed hip or knee, and gross deformities of the spine.

The book is highly illustrated with more than 3000 clinical and surgical photographs, diagrams and tables.
