Book description
Simplicity and clarity are the established hallmarks of this concise review of essential othopaedics and traumatology. Extensive revision for this third edition encompasses many changes throughout the text, bringing in more basic science and introducing new concepts and techniques in areas where rapid developments and advances have been made. Several chapters have been updated more radically, such as those on principles of bone and joint injuries, and neuromuscular disorders. Completely new chapters have been written on abdominal and genito-urinary injuries, and metabolic bone disorder, and there is a final chapter devoted to the all important area of rehabilitation. Severel new line drawings have been added to the many existing illustrations.
This is an up to date, clearly organised and practical book which is directed at undergraduate medical students and which has already proved its worth in previous editions. It also has a wider readership of general practitioners and others involved with accident and emergency work, for whom it is an excellent refresher source.
