- First-of-its-kind reference book on orthopedic trauma implantology
- Covers the entire spectrum of orthopedic trauma implants for the upper limb, lower limb, spine, and pelvis
- Addresses decision making in implant selection, including nails vs. plates and ORIF vs. external fixation
This reference work comprehensively covers essential orthopedic trauma implants and their application in both upper and lower limbs.
It offers insights into the invention, advantages, and disadvantages of various implants, along with the rationale behind their current designs, biomechanics, and materials. Additionally, the book addresses fracture fixation and general considerations when comparing different subgroups of implants, such as nails versus plates or ORIF versus external fixation.
The book is divided into several sections, such as upper and lower limbs, spine, and pelvis. It also includes unique sections dedicated to pediatric implants, implant removal, metallurgy and bone grafts. It is written and edited by experienced surgeons from around the world.
This book fills the gap as currently, there are no specific reference books on this topic but only operative manuals and inventory lists of various commercial companies detailing their own products.
This highly informative and meticulously presented book serves as both a practical and a theoretical guide for practicing orthopedic surgeons, scientists/researchers, academicians, students as well as orthopedic technicians and nurses.
