Complications in Orthopaedics

Doctors can explore the development, treatment and prevention of common complications associated with upper extremity fractures in children. Each chapter explores a specific case in-depth: starting with the initial radiographs, diagnosis and error in initial treatment - to management options and how this particular complication was managed. Also discussed are how to recognize the problem, patients and situations posing a high risk and how to prevent these complications. Cases in this volume include: Malunion of phalangeal fracture; loss of reduction of distal radius fracture; malunion of forearm fracture; incomplete reduction of Monteggia fracture; nonunion of lateral condyle fracture; irreducible radial neck fracture; cubitus following supracondylar fracture; postoperative neurovascular deficit with supracondylar fracture; severely displaced proximal humerus fracture. Each case is richly illustrated with clinical photographs and radiographs.
