Operative Trauma Management: An Atlas

Designed for the young surgical trainee as well as the accomplished practicing surgeon, the atlas addresses two needs: the need for illustrations of common procedures, including those that are similar to elective procedures as well as those which emphasize the differences that occur when treating a trauma patient; and the increased need for excellent illustrations for training young surgeons and maintaining operative skills in an era of diminishing numbers of operative interventions for injuries. Includes exceptional illustrations by Rebekah Dodson and other artists who worked with sketches from each author to illustrate injuries and specific operative procedures.
