Description

Orthopaedics is the medical speciality that focusses on injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex system, which includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves, allows you to move, work, and be active. The physicians who specialize in this area are called orthopaedic surgeons. Each chapter of this book 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. This book provides valuable pearls, suggested readings, and case studies. It is richly illustrated with figures, diagrams, and tables. It offers the most relevant and concise information available in the world today on orthopaedics, with sections dedicated to the anatomical, physiological, and basic science considerations. It consists of contributions made by international experts. This book is full of crucial and unexplored concepts. It is hoped that this book is sufficiently comprehensive to guide orthopaedic surgeons. The main aim of this book is to provide a mature approach to basic principles of orthopaedic surgery.
