Quick Overview
The goals of this book are to clearly describe the indications for surgery, provide appropriate surgical techniques, present tips for achieving good results, and offer an extensive case-based discussion on how to manage select complications. Whereas many other texts have given a more exhaustive review of the historical literature as well as basic principles of fracture management (including nonoperative management), we have chosen to go directly to the surgical management of fractures and their complications. Of course, this is not to downplay the importance of the basic principles of nonoperative fracture care or to imply all fractures be treated operatively. As such, this text should not be viewed as a comprehensive textbook of fracture management, but rather a practical and thorough text for the orthopaedic surgeon managing a fracture operatively and/or its complication.
