Practical Fracture Treatment, 4th Edition

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. Organized by body region for ease of reference. Offers advice on the management of a fracture clinic. 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.
