About this title

Synopsis

This volume comprises the papers presented by distinguished North American and European trauma surgeons at a joint meeting of the Austrian, German and Swiss Associations of trauma surgery and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association of North America which took place in Vienna in May of 1991. It deals with the complex problems that arise in the treatment of fractures of the tibial pilon, talus and calcaneus. It documents the recent dramatic changes in treatment through new reduction techniques and surgical interventions, better management of soft tissues, and concepts of aftercare that place more emphasis on function. This book represents the most recent thought and research in this field by recognized authorities . It will be of great interest to researchers, but even more to trauma surgeons, who will immediately be able to incorporate these new conceptsand findings into their practice.
