Description |
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. |

 Excellent Resource 2010-07-21 |
| By Joe Schmoe (New Orleans, LA) |
| This text amply reviews all relevant anatomy for all common surgical sites and each possible approach, both open and arthroscopic. This is an excellent review of anatomy and also prep to use the night before cases. I would recommend it to anyone going in to Ortho. |
| Excellent book! 2009-04-29 |
| By S. Shannon (Reno, NV) |
This book was recommended to me by my orthopaedic surgeon mentor and I have found it more than helpful to understand, follow and learn when I am in and out of surgery.

| simply magnificent 2007-11-16 |
| By Ioannis Kontolatis (Athens Greece) |
| A safety net for anyone performing orthopaedic procedures weather a trainee or a specialist. Great detail and points out nicely potential pitfalls in a much better and more effective way than similar books. Very expensive but money well spent |
| If you're in ortho you must get this. 2007-11-01 |
| By F. Mo |
| Every resident needs to get this book. Excellent information and anatomy gives you a leg up and makes you look good in the operating room. |
| Can't live without it 2006-07-31 |
| By Max Gordon (Sweden) |
This is a great book with most of the surgical approaches that I've come in contact with. It combines concise descriptions of the anatomy with graphics in a nice, easy-to-access way.
The arthroscopic chapters are a little lame but the classical, exposures are simply a must for any resident that want to learn the different exposures.
When comparing, I find that the latest edition hasn't added that much to the book and I wouldn't recommend getting the latest edition unless your very into colors. |
