Features: The predecessor of this manual was the renowned "Handbook of Acute Orthopaedic Treatment," which, after revision, provides more comprehensive guidance for orthopedic surgeons, residents, emergency care physicians, primary care nurses, and medical students in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of musculoskeletal system-related diseases. In the 5th edition of the "Handbook of Orthopaedics," Dr. Swiontkowski incorporated his specialized experience from the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Minnesota and Hennepin Medical Center, offering guidelines covering almost all fields of orthopedics, such as acute and chronic, traumatic and non-traumatic conditions. In addition to the classic knowledge of nursing and treating surgical patients, you will find new chapters such as pediatric orthopedics, spinal and non-acute lower limb diseases, and non-traumatic hand and shoulder surgery. For easy reference, the book is organized by anatomical regions. Over 100 illustrations, photographs, and tables enrich the content of the manual. The new references at the end of each chapter provide extensive inspiration for further reading and research.
