Synopsis

Browner, Skeletal Trauma 3rd edition is available to buy both as a 2 volume set, or as a 3 volume set (including Green, Skeletal Trauma in Children, 3rd Edition as the 3rd volume).

The 3rd Edition of the 2-volume Browner set provides expert coverage of today's most contemporary approaches to the management of fractures and other injuries. Internationally recognized specialists offer extensive coverage of both internal and external fixation and the basic anatomy and mechanisms of injury integrated with diagnosis, management, follow-up, and complications. New content encompasses trauma reconstruction, malunions, nonunions, infections, limb length discrepancies, and related problems.

Green represents a paediatric companion to Browner, presenting practical and focused guidance on managing musculoskeletal injuries in children and adolescents. The text emphasizes the unique aspects of children's fractures in terms of epidemiology, mechanisms, management, and the challenges of treating the skeletally immature patient. State-of-the-art coverage by leading experts in pediatric orthopaedics and musculoskeletal trauma includes growth and development, pathology, complications, child abuse...and almost every possible break from head to toe.
