Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma, w. 3 DVDs

Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma is a landmark multimedia reference covering the surgical management of a wide range of injuries, from complex pelvic and spinal trauma to periarticular fractures and knee dislocations. For each injury, the authors guide the reader from the clinical evaluation, through the decision-making process, and to the surgical procedure. Each chapter provides a thorough review of surgical anatomy, streamlined discussion of the classification of the injury, the nonoperative treatments available, and the indications for surgical treatment. Concise, step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques are enhanced by carefully edited videos of surgical procedures on four accompanying DVDs.

Highlights of the book:
- "Tips and Tricks" summarize key points of each procedure for rapid review in preparation for surgery
- "Pearls" describe injuries, incidence, indications for surgery, and possible complications and are ideal for board preparation
- More than 1,400 photographs, radiographs, and drawings illustrate surgical techniques
- "New Techniques" sections cover the emerging strategies and latest innovations for surgical management
- A separate table of contents for the four DVDs, video citations throughout the book, and text boxes at the end of each chapter enable convenient book-to-video reference

Highlights of the DVDs:
- 105 narrated videos of entire surgical procedures provide a window into the operating room - an invaluable resource for residents and general orthopaedic surgeons who do not perform trauma procedures regularly
- Coverage of state-of-the-art techniques such as locked plating, minimally invasive fracture fixation, advanced intramedullary nailing strategies, staged reconstruction of periarticular fractures, new techniques for hip hemiarthroplasty, surgical management of knee dislocation, including double bundle

- Each video has been professionally produced and features high-quality audio, special effects, and multiple camera angles for each procedure

Authoritative and comprehensive in scope, Surgical Treatment of Orthopaedic Trauma will be an invaluable asset for all orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and specialists requiring both a didactic reference and a complete review for exam preparation.
