Orthopedic Surgery

A detailed anatomical guide to surgical exposures and approaches used in orthopedic procedures. It emphasizes regional anatomy crucial for safe and effective operative intervention.

A detailed surgical text focusing on reconstructive procedures and long-term rehabilitation management for patients suffering from musculoskeletal deformities caused by poliomyelitis.

Comprehensive notes on amputation covering epidemiology (trauma vs. vascular disease), critical factors for limb salvage decision-making (soft tissue injury severity, plantar sensation), outcome measures (SIP, return to work), metabolic demand calculations for various amputation levels (Syme, transtibial, transfemoral), criteria for optimal wound healing (ABI, TcPO2, albumin), and detailed surgical techniques and measurements for transtibial amputations, including Ertl modifications.

A clinical guide detailing procedures and practices for special tests used in orthopedic examination. The text addresses professional standards, ensuring accuracy of information and consistent application of accepted practices in clinical settings, primarily for physical therapy and athletic training professionals.

This book addresses the challenges of surgery for osteoporotic fractures, covering topics from fracture fixation and healing to rehabilitation and secondary prevention in the elderly. It emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach.

An illustrated guide detailing practical tips and surgical techniques for managing complex fractures across the musculoskeletal system. Organized by anatomical region (shoulder, elbow, pelvis, hip, femur, knee, tibia, ankle, and foot) and specialized procedures (patient positioning, external fixation), compiled by experts from the Harborview Medical Center.

A comprehensive reference detailing numerous surgical approaches to the adult upper extremity, specifically covering the distal humerus (elbow), proximal forearm, forearm shaft, and distal forearm/wrist. Chapters describe specific techniques (e.g., Posterior paratricipital approach, Henry approach) for fracture reduction and fixation, emphasizing general considerations, skin incisions, nerve exposure (safe zones), and wound closure.

This quick-reference review is the first book written specifically for third- and fourth-year medical students completing orthopedic surgery rotations. Organized by body part, it focuses on diagnosis and management of the most common pathologic entities. Each chapter covers history, typical presentation, relevant anatomy, physical examination, imaging, and management options in a bullet-pointed outline format.

A detailed surgical manual providing the technique for the internal fixation of small fractures, based on the methodology developed by the AO-ASIF Group. This is the third revised edition of the Small Fragment Set Manual.

Comprehensive guide focusing on the treatment and care of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries specifically within austere (resource-limited) settings.

A foundational text detailing the principles and techniques developed by James Cyriax for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. Content covers treatment philosophy (diagnosis must precede treatment), classification of disorders (traumatic, inflammatory, degenerative), and specific techniques including deep transverse friction massage, passive movements, spinal manipulation, and injection therapy.

A comprehensive guide providing the state of the art regarding all available arthroscopic techniques, divided per joint. It covers the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of orthopedic diseases, promoting benefits like pain reduction and faster recovery.
