Cannulated Screw Fixation

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. Chapters are organized anatomically and present comprehensive clinical applications. This volume is a "must have" for all orthopaedic surgeons and residents.

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.
