Publisher's Synopsis
This book aims to give the junior orthopaedic surgeon an introductory grasp of the specialty whilst also challenging the more experienced trainee to think more holistically. The reader will learn how to institute initial management of common orthopaedic presentations, and about day-to-day management of patients. Step-by-step guidance is provided for minor surgical procedures. This book will serve you well if read prior to starting your first job in orthopaedic surgery, but will also remain a valuable resource as a quick-reference text. From basic clerking, basic classifications, early management, and pitfalls, this book will act as a 'senior trauma doctor in your pocket'.
