Summary:

Surgeons who have embarked on higher specialist training in orthopedic surgery require a balanced understanding of the causes, assessment and management of clinical problems. This book offers a relevant and practical resource, focusing on the more difficult musculoskeletal disorders. The contributors, of international standing in their particular field, provide a reasoned account of their own experiences. They cover controversial topics in everyday orthopedic surgery, reflecting actual practice. Readers will identify a pattern of working which suits their own approach but which, at the same time, will provide a firm foundation for future development. Detailed operative technique has been deliberately excluded since it can be found elsewhere. However, selected references are provided for further reading and discussion.
