Standard Orthopaedic Operations : A Guide for the Junior Surgeon (4 Revised edition)

This is a practical guide which considers over 220 operations that the junior surgeon is likely to perform or assist at, discussing them stage-by-stage from the patient positioning, through surgical procedure to post-operative management.

The book also discusses special difficulties or hazards and the precautions that must be taken to avoid them.

It provides new material and illustrations - including knee and ankle replacement and arthroscopy and arthroscopic surgery.

This edition also includes a new section on a more radical, continental approach to orthopaedic surgery, often involving the internal fixation of bones, which has come to the fore in recent years.
