  This reference text has been written primarily for the medical student, and assumes little prior knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of fractures throughout the human body. The details of each fracture have been arranged in a linear sequence and all material has been divided into small amounts of text and illustration in order to facilitate swift comprehension and learning. Fracture treatment has been given in practical detail. This edition has been revised to include details of the use of resin casting materials and specific regional injuries especially internal fixation of fractured neck of femur, shoulder fractures, fractures in patients who have had hip replacements, ankle fractures and scaphoid fractures. It includes CAT scans, the use of AO fixation methods, additional radiographs and a number of self-test questions.

  This edition contains changes in most sections to reflect the continuous expansion of the use of internal fixation in the treatment of fractures. To give further assistance in the general assessment of fractures, the text includes the AO classification of long bone fractures, Tile's classification of pelvic fractures, Gustilo's classification of open fractures, trauma scoring, the use of the Mangled Extremity Severity Score, and the Glasgow Coma scale. New material is included on a variety of subjects, ranging from gunshot wounds to injuries associated with child abuse.
