Tibial Plateau Fractures

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Tibial Plateau Fractures has been written to provide a single text that covers every aspect of treatment of these complex fractures with a focus on practical clinical knowledge. Modern treatment strategies have been clearly defined based on recent literature and cutting-edge fixation techniques. Case examples and high yield points are highlighted at the end of every chapter in order to help the reader come away with the most crucial aspects of care as determined by the surgeon experts who have authored each chapter. Reduction techniques for percutaneous and open surgical treatment of these fractures has been emphasized. Additionally, an entire chapter has been devoted to soft tissue injuries that occur in conjunction with tibial plateau fractures. This is an important distinction from other books, chapters, and journal articles, on the subject, as soft tissue injuries are often overlooked in prior works with a focus on the bony injury only. Untreated soft tissue injuries can be a source of long-term disability and poor outcomes in these multifaceted injuries. This book intends to help the reader identify all aspects of care in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures and help the surgeon to achieve the best possible outcome." -- from preface.
