A standard textbook for 25 years, Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach is now in its Fourth Edition. Featuring 775 full-color illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches used in orthopaedics and offers a surgeon's-eye view of the important anatomy. Every chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, provides a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection. The Fourth Edition describes new minimally invasive approaches to the spine, proximal humerus, humeral shaft, distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal tibia. Other highlights contain new external fixation approaches for many regions and surgical approaches to the os calcis. New illustrations of the appendicular skeleton are integrated. New drawings show the important neurovascular structures this want to be protected. |
