Orthopedics: Seeking a Balance

This book discusses the balance between surgical and non surgical orthopaedic care. It begins with a section on general trauma and reconstructive hip surgery, and includes topics such as fractures, ligament injuries, dislocations and osteoarthritis. The following section examines a range of topics, from arthroscopy, MRI and CT scans, Ilizarov technique and infection in surgery, to non surgical issues such as litigation, podiatry and teaching. With more than 260 images and illustrations, this book is a comprehensive guide to both surgical and non surgical aspects of orthopaedics, for training and qualified surgeons.
