Publisher's Synopsis
The Rationale of Operative Fracture Caredescribes the why, where, when and how of modern fracture treatment, including open and closed methods as complementary modes of treatment. The first edition was a much needed addition to the more technically oriented AO-Manual. Richly illustrated with clinical and radiological examples, it has become a standard reference. The second edition updates the description of problems and treatment modalities of specific fractures based upon the experience of the past 7 years. Decision-making, planning, techniques, and post-operative care are covered, offering the reader advice in the daily practice of fracture treatment.
