A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Fully revised and expanded, with over 230 new illustrations, this second edition reviews accepted treatments and discusses the best choice for treatment. A noteworthy addition to the volume is an entirely new chapter on acute and chronic derangement of the distal radioulnar joint, a complex joint that has been poorly understood and neglected until only recently. The authors have provided an in-depth discussion of treatment options, including functional aftercare, cast immobilization, as well as open and arthroscopic surgical approaches. No orthopedic surgeon can be without this definitive and up-to-date guide to the treatment of these remarkably complex injuries.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fractures of the distal radius are extraordinarily common, but can be complex to treat. This book provides an in-depth understanding of a comprehensive approach to the management of these fractures and their complications. The authors, world renown experts in the field, present practical, clinical information from their extensive experience in the treatment of these fractures. Topics include the authors' classification as well as decision making and tactics in the conservative and operative management of all types of radius fractures: bending fractures of the metaphysis, shearing fractures of the joint surface, compression fractures of the joint surface, avulsion fractures, radio-carpal fractures and dislocation, combined fractures, high velocity injury, and malunions. In addition, comprehensive chapters are included on surgical technique and approach as well as on complications. With over 650 illustrations, this is the definitive volume on these challenging fractures, their complete treatment and management of complications.
