Minimax Fracture Fixation: Case Collection: Lower leg - ankle joint - nonunions - autogenous bone transplantation (AO Master Series)

The orthopedic problems and solutions described in this book are based on approximately 125,000 operations performed over 25 years at the Orthopedic Department, County Hospital, St. Gallen, Switzerland. The cases and x-ray series have been chosen from a collection of about 80,000 slides taken from 1960 until 2002.
Although this book is not competing with the AO manuals and is not a text-book, readers should be familiar with the AO principles and the AO textbooks. It discusses selected fracture subjects, most of which, though not all, have already been outlined in former publications. It specifically addresses specialists in orthopedic surgery, especially in trauma care, rather than 'beginners'. The solutions to problems given here vary somewhat from the 'AO gospel'.
