Manual of Soft-Tissue Management in Orthopaedic Trauma (AO Trauma Handbooks)

 

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] fracture first and foremost is a soft-tissue injury, the best possible
outcome of which strongly depends on correct decision making at the right time
and state-of-the-art softtissue handling. In order for orthopaedic and trauma
surgeons to address these issues comprehensively without being plastic surgeons
themselves, a certain level of interdisciplinary understanding has to be
acquired.

This textbook provides that knowledge applicable in everyday clinical
situations, focusing on interdisciplinary treatment strategies and basic
soft-tissue techniques. High-quality videos and 20 carefully selected case
studies further illustrate this comprehensive approach and the complex process
of decision making.

Surgeons will, among other things, be able to expand their
knowledge regarding:

• Assessment of soft-tissue injuries
• Correct choice and handling of instruments
• Emergency department management
• Adequate debridement and wound conditioning
• Options and choice of wound closure and coverage

It progresses to describing and providing treatment recommendations with detailed photographs of complex traumatic soft-tissue issues. The color photos and diagrams are superb. This is very much a niche book without shortcomings.– Samuel Chmell, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine [/box] [ads2]
