Synopsis

Since the publication of the first edition in 1959, "Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures" has been an essential textbook for those seeking to understand the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases and its response to trauma. The book's success was initiated by the late Alan Apley's skills as a teacher, and the care and forethought that he brought to the presentation of the content. The current authors have developed and extended this foundation to produce a thoroughly modern textbook of orthopaedic surgery, bringing complementary expertise while retaining the book's characteristic philosophy and approach. They are joined by a selection of expert contributors from around the world, who add material on a wide variety of subjects including radiology, open fractures, neuromuscular disorders and inflammatory arthropathies. This 9th edition echoes its predecessors in following Apley's approach to the orthopaedic patient. As before, the work is divided into three General Orthopaedics, Regional Orthopaedics and Fractures and Joint Injuries. The material has been fully updated and revised, including the replacement of the majority of the photographs, giving this edition a modern and relevant feel. The illustrations are all provided in a downloadable form on the book's accompanying website. Apley's System's wide readership of practicing orthopaedic surgeons, postgraduate trainees and residents in orthopaedics and general surgery, A&E specialists and physiotherapists is evidence of the authors' ability to instruct and inspire. The book is a truly fitting introduction to modern-day orthopaedics.

Review

This text must remain the best basic introduction on the subject and it will undoubtedly also remain the bible for both undifferentiated young surgeons aiming for their Fellowship and for trainees entering the specialty of trauma and orthopaedics.
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England

The seventh edition... combines the best of British tradition... It is likely to remain the best and most popular text for the orthopaedic postgraduate student.
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (British Volume)

In my opinion this text belongs in every practising orthopaedist's library, to be referred to when he or she is confronted with a problem not commonly seen in an increasingly specialized practice
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American Volume

the new volume not only lives up to our expectations, based on the previous seven, but exceeds them...this book has become a treasure, a dependable friend who can be trusted to tell the truth...
From the foreword to the 8th edition by Henry J. M
