Description

This pocket-sized reference serves as a practical source of information on the fracture treatment of all bones. A concentration on small anatomic areas enables material to be located and reviewed quickly. Each chapter covers anatomy of the area, various possible mechanisms of injury, classifications of fractures, clinical evaluation (including both physical and radiographic examination), indications and treatment (both operative and non-operative), results, late complications, and summary/reflections. Line drawings and clinically useful X-rays enhance the text throughout.
