Te author and the publisher would like to take this opportunity to thank the medical community for the utmost warm welcome given to the frst edition of this book. A second edition is deemed necessary not only because of the extreme popularity of the frst edition such that the international stock of the book was sold out in less than a year, but also because, as mentioned in the frst edition, orthopaedic traumatology is a rapidly expanding feld. In this second edition, some important chapters like those on c- puter-aided surgery and surgical navigation have been completely - vised, as well as the chapter on fracture fxation principles, while many new chapters have been added to keep front-line workers in trauma abreast of the rapidly changing paradigm shif in fragility fracture ma- n agement. Tat a much more positive attitude should be taken by ort- pods with regard to their role in concomitant osteoporosis management is echoed by the recent policy statement of the AAOS, and is refected in the contents of the “blue book” or ofcial publication of the British Orthopaedic Association. Such changes come about thanks partly to the great eforts of leaders in this feld such as Drs Gallacher and McL- lan from Glasgow, who successfully pioneered the “Fragility Fracture Liaison Service”, which is now used in many general hospitals across Europe, as well as in parts of Asia.

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This excellent pocket handbook covers the entire field of orthopedic trauma. The purpose is to stimulate residents’ interest in modern orthopedic traumatology. The audience is primarily orthopedists in training, although the book may also be helpful as a guide or review for experienced surgeons. … All fractures/dislocations are covered, including hand, spine, and pediatric. This is an excellent clinical reference for residents working in a clinic or emergency room. … The references are adequate and provide a basis for further study." (Mark Gonzalez, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)

"The handbook … is intended to be a quick guide not only for trauma specialists but also for general orthopaedic surgeons, residents preparing for exams, physiotherapists, and other health care executives interested in orthopaedic traumatology. … The book fulfils the intended purpose of being a new, easily readable handbook … . can be strongly recommended reading for everyone interested in orthopaedic trauma care and as a quick up-to date review tool for those who are preparing for orthopaedic related exams."
