About this book
Residents and junior doctors on rotation are under constant pressure to have accurate and up-to-date information available to them. This is never more important than when on rotation in the emergency room. Junior doctors often lack experience in orthopaedics making the recognition and accurate identification of fractures and their treatment a challenging task. This comprehensive handbook contains a wealth of illustrations and explanatory text, which is organized into a concise repository of information on fractures according to the most widely used classification systems. The classification systems covered include AO and OTA systems. This allows readers the opportunity to make a correct diagnosis using the appropriate criteria, while simplifying the planning of further management and ensuring that communication with experienced staff is more effective.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This book is devoted to the description of the most widely used classifications of the most frequent fractures in clinical practice. It is easy to read and to use. This book will be very useful first of all for the trauma residents but also for more experienced trauma surgeons. For each type of fracture one or several classifications are described. All classifications are illustrated by a very clear and simple drawing." (Didier Mainard, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Vol. 19, 2009)
