Handbook of Orthopaedic Trauma Implantology

This reference work comprehensively covers essential orthopedic trauma implants and their application in upper and lower limbs. It offers insights into various implants’ inventions, advantages, disadvantages, and the rationale behind their current designs, biomechanics, and materials. Additionally, the book addresses fracture fixation and general considerations when comparing different subgroups of implants, such as nails versus plates or ORIF versus external fixation.

The book is divided into upper and lower limbs, spine, and pelvis sections. It also includes unique sections dedicated to pediatric implants, implant removal, metallurgy, and bone grafts. It is written and edited by experienced surgeons from around the world. This book fills the gap as currently, there are no specific reference books on this topic, only operative manuals and inventory lists of various commercial companies detailing their products.

This highly informative and meticulously presented book serves as both a practical and theoretical guide for practicing orthopedic surgeons, scientists/researchers, academicians, students, orthopedic technicians, and nurses.
