Index
Practical Fracture Treatment has proved to be highly popular amongst
junior doctors, orthopaedic trainees and medical students. Now fully
revised, it is a well illustrated, step by step account of the
treatment of fractures.
Features
Fourth edition of a highly respected and successful book, which is
regarded as a standard, "on-the-job" guide in most accident and
emergency departments and orthopaedic theatres.
Unique line diagrams drawn by the author, organised in a comic-strip
fashion to give clear, step by step guidance on the diagnosis and
treatment of fractures.
Detailed guidance on individual fractures for the hard pressed SHO in
the A&E department.
What's New
Revised to take account of increased tendency towards operative
management of fractures. It covers indications for and principles of
operative management, without going into detail on operative
technique, and continues to provide sound guidance on conservative
management.
Fracture classification systems which are too complex for "on the
job" reference by trainee level staff have been dropped from the
text.
Improved reproduction of X rays.
Thorough updating of all text and illustrations.
Line diagrams have redrawn using shades of grey to give a clearer,
brighter and more up to date appearance.
