This book is divided into 9 parts and 100 chapters, covering hands and wrists, shoulders and elbows, spine, hips, degenerative knees, athlete's knees, feet and ankles, common tumors, and pediatric orthopedics. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a clinical description of the known pathological mechanisms for that chapter, followed by a discussion of the patients' main complaints, physical examination findings, common imaging, and auxiliary tests used for diagnosis, as well as systematic non-surgical and surgical treatments, and surgical approaches for orthopedic conditions. Almost every chapter includes a clinical table for quick reference, including questions, treatment indications, surgical techniques for the condition, encountered anatomy, and potential risks during surgery. This table is designed for orthopedic surgeons who need to update their knowledge quickly to handle problems more effectively in the operating room, and each chapter is organized in this manner. Therefore, readers can accurately determine where to find the information they need in each chapter.
