The editors and contributing authors are noted orthopaedists in the fields of trauma, metabolic bone disease, and orthopaedic oncology, affiliated with leading institutions such as the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the Fracture Service at The New York Hospital, and The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The book reviews the primary disease etiology and pathophysiology of each form of pathologic fracture, thoroughly explains the principles of management, and presents practical treatment strategies that have been successfully used at the authors' institutions.
