Rockwood & Green's Fractures in Adults 7e

Established worldwide as the 'gold-standard' two-volume reference on fractures, "Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults" is now in its thoroughly revised, updated seventh edition. More than 80 of the world's foremost authorities provide comprehensive coverage of all bone and joint injuries, thoroughly discuss alternative methods for treating each injury, and present their own preferred methods. Coverage begins with a section on General Principles, including biomechanics, classification, epidemiology, principles of internal and external fixation, bone grafting, outcome studies, and imaging. Subsequent sections focus on fractures by anatomic location. Chapters in these sections follow the same organization: principles of management, surgical anatomy, current treatment options, author's preferred treatment, complications, and controversies. This edition has 33 new contributors and new chapters on principles of nerve injury and complex regional pain syndrome; psychological aspects of trauma; gunshot and wartime injuries; principles of mangled extremity management; amputations; limb salvage reconstruction; principles of post-traumatic infections; principles of nonunions; and, principles of malunions. There is a DVD showing 25 surgical procedures accompanies the two-volume set. This title features a companion Website that contains the fully searchable text and an image bank.
