Third Edition • Hardbound Featuring over 800 full-color
illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches
used in orthopaedics and provides a surgeon's-eye view of the
relevant anatomy. Each chapter details the techniques and
pitfalls of a surgical approach, gives a clear preview of
anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential
dangers of superficial and deep dissection. This edition has
been expanded to include arthroscopic approaches to the knee and
shoulder and minimal access approaches for inserting
intramedullary nails into the humerus, femur, and tibia. Many
illustrations have been reworked to reflect the trend toward
preserving soft tissue and blood supply to bones, and most
illustrations have been redone in full color.
