Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgical Oncology - Hardcover

"Wow. This is a sensational book that efficiently walks users through a very challenging series of approaches, techniques, and procedures.The sections on amputations are exceedingly well done and could certainly be applied to other areas of orthopedics, such as trauma or infection. I strongly recommend this book for all teaching libraries where residents can access it to prepare for the rare oncology case but also to prepare for boards and in-training exams. For surgeons, it is a compact and efficient techniques book that easily replaces many heavier, thicker tomes that do not have the visuals to match this offering."
