The Oxford Textbook of Trauma and Orthopaedics provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant background science, theory, practice, decision-making skills, and operative techniques required to provide modern orthopaedic and trauma care. The text is divided into five major sections, covering: fundamental science; adult orthopaedics; trauma; paediatric orthopaedics; and paediatric trauma, including a major subsection on tumours. Additionally, the adult orthopaedics section is further subdivided to cover the joint and bone systems of the body.

Edited by a transatlantic team with more than 300 specialist contributors, the second edition of this award-winning textbook is unrivalled in the field. The content is extensively referenced, highly illustrated, and contains useful summary boxes throughout the text, as well as a list of important further reading references for each chapter.

The topics covered are based on the British Orthopaedic Association curriculum, so the textbook is comprehensive and highly relevant to trainees and teaching consultants wishing to keep up-to-date with current practice and thinking.
