Synopsis

Cannulated Screw Fixation is the first volume of its kind to provide both the biomechanics of these screw systems as well as complete operative techniques. This book teaches the orthopaedic surgeon and resident all aspects of cannulated screw fixation from principles (biomechanics, design, materials, manufacturing) to clinical uses including anatomy, imaging techniques, advantages, complications and outcomes. This comprehensive text includes chapters written by well-known orthopaedists in their respective anatomical areas with material on preferred operating techniques and uses in more specialized clinical situations for both upper and lower extremities. Edited by pioneers in the development of the cannulated screw this volume is a "must have" for all orthopaedic surgeons and residents.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Bone screw are among the oldest means of internal fixation for fractures. Despite the continual use of these amazing machines, our understanding of the mechanical principles of the screw-bone complex in fracture care is still limited but rapidly growing. Chapters 1 and 2 reexamine the principles of screw biomechanics as well as the characteristics of the materials and techniques used to manufacture screws.
