Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery: Relevant Surgical Exposures: (Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery)

This important new Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery volume demonstrates approximately 100 of the most successful, widely used surgical exposures. World-renowned master surgeons describe their preferred surgical exposure techniques in step-by-step detail and offer pearls and tips for improving results. The book is thoroughly illustrated with full-color, sequential, surgeon's-eye view photographs of anatomic dissections, with accompanying drawings by a noted medical illustrator to give surgeons a full understanding of what they will encounter in a patient. Chapters cover each anatomic region of the musculoskeletal system and spine. Exposures are organized similarly to the other Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery volumes. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
