Bone and Joint Injuries: Trauma Surgery III (European Manual of Medicine) - Softcover

From the book reviews:

“This third volume in the Trauma Surgery series of the European Manual of Medicine is devoted to orthopedic injuries. It provides an overview of good clinical practice for treating musculoskeletal trauma. The audience is senior surgeons in training or who are managing patients with orthopedic trauma.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2014)        

There currently is a clear tendency to an increasing number of accidental injuries in elderly people, in sport injuries and car crashes also in countries which recently joined the European Union and candidates to join the European Union. Patients expect very good functional results even after serious injuries. But in contrast to this development, Trauma Surgery as an independent field, is not yet established in all European countries. Therefore, it seems mandatory to compile a book that covers the state-of-the-art in Trauma Surgery. The book also serves to harmonise the practice of Trauma Surgery within the European Union, and to prepare for the exam of the U.E.M.S.
