Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach

2004 BMA Book Competition Award Winner! Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics, 3/e was Highly Commended in the Orthopaedics category of the 2004 BMA Book Competition. Each chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, gives a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection. This edition has been expanded to include arthroscopic approaches to the knee and shoulder and minimal access approaches for inserting intramedullary nails into the humerus, femur, and tibia. Many illustrations have been reworked to reflect the trend toward preserving soft tissue and blood supply to bones, and most illustrations have been redone in full colour. FEATURES: Each chapter has a consistent organisation, namely Surgical Approach and Applied Surgical Anatomy , each highlighting Landmarks and Incisions, and Deep and Superficial Dissection Outstanding colour illustrations Dangers of each procedure highlighted Organised so the surgeon can access information of interest quickly u first the surgical approach, then the underlying anatom
