Synopsis

This text covers the full range of common and uncommon fractures and dislocations in adults and children. It guides readers through diagnosis, including both clinical and radiographic methods, and then discusses mechanisms of injury and management. Sequential illustrations demonstrate, step-by-step, fracture reduction, immobilization and follow-up methods. Where operative treatment would be beneficial, indications and surgical options are discussed. The atlas is organized by anatomic area, from the cervical spine and thoracolumbar spine and pelvis, to the lower and upper extremities. It includes a section on fractures in children, including epiphyseal fractures unique to children, and a section on basic science of fracture repair discusses why most fractures are best treated by closed methods.
