Operative orthopaedics : the Stanmore guide [E-Book]

Revised, updated and expanded, Operative Orthopaedics: The Stanmore Guide, Second Edition, is a definitive and comprehensive guide to elective orthopaedic surgery. It is suitable for junior trainees during their various orthopaedic rotations and senior trainees preparing for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Tr and Orth) examination.

The procedures identified by the Specialist Advisory Committee, including areas such as tumour surgery, paediatrics and limb reconstruction, are included. Each chapter follows a simple and consistent format explaining the surgery from preoperative planning and consent, through to approaches, techniques and postoperative care. The chapters also include key references and sample Viva Questions to extend and reinforce learning.
