Main description:

This book is a complete guide to orthopaedics for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students.

Beginning with an overview of basic principles in the field, the following chapters give extensive coverage to the management of fractures and dislocations in all sections of the musculoskeletal (MSK) system.

The final chapters of the book discuss more complex MSK disorders including bone tumours, metabolic diseases of the bone, joint and bone infections, neuromuscular disorders and more.

Separate sections are dedicated to congenital disorders and paediatric deformities, arthritis, and imaging in orthopaedics.

The comprehensive text is highly illustrated with nearly 500 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to enhance learning.
