Timely, accurate, and up-to-date text clearly explaining the fundamentals of fracture healing and bone fixation in a format that is concise, well organized and easy to follow. It is extremely well illustrated and addresses the biomechanical principles and usage techniques of the wide range of modern orthopaedic trauma implants in use today.• An in-depth resource to the amply stocked tool-box of today's fracture surgeon• A compendium of fracture fixation written by an experienced surgeon for fellows, residents and masters• A detailed overview of biomechanics, biology, implants and materials relevant to fracture care• Elegantly illustrated and lucidly explained presentations of today's fracture fixation devices• The designs, the application techniques in various anatomical regions, mechanical effects, hazards and contraindications are described along elucidative graphics• Not so commonly found details of intramedullary nail and use of Poller screws in its insertion, hazards of use of traction table, methods to perfect insertion of intramedullary hip fixation device, minute details of cables, pins and wires, several configurations of external fixator, new concept of reverse dynamization, a brief exposure of spinal instrumentation and several techniques of minimal invasive osteosynthesis are a few of its features
This book is part of the LWW India publishing program. This program is developed for the Indian market working with Indian authors who are the foremost experts in their respective fields. Our Indian authors do research and teach at the most respected Indian medical schools and academic hospitalsRadiographic examination of musculoskeletal problems is an extremely crucial component of orthopaedic practice. Proper positioning of the patient is necessary to obtain the best radiographic view. However, quite often, the relevant positioning details elude the memory of a busy orthopaedecian and a good opportunity to clinch a diagnosis gets lost. This book is oriented towards the orthopaedic surgeon's plain radiographic requirements and provides a ready solution that may be used by both the radiologist and the orthopaedician. Each view described has been carefully evaluated and a brief discussion of its realistic clinical usefulness, advantages and disadvantages has been provided. This makes the book more valuable than just a positioning manual. Included are sketches of fracture patterns as additional information to help decision making in trauma settings. The Supplement section in numerous chapters provides ancillary information to read the radiographs and modify the treatment. Relevant suggestions are provided for appropriate positioning of the C-arm image intensifier that is now an integral part of an orthopaedic surgeon&rsquos work. A crisp, easy-to-refer style has been used throughout the book.All these features make this book an excellent ready reference for Orthopaedicians, radiologists as well as radiographers.
Orthopaedic community's understanding of fracture healing process changes with newer methods of scientific investigations. The new knowledge when applied to clinical practice, changes the way one uses the existing implants. This edition incorporates these changes and presents a lucid and contemporary account of the biomechanical and clinical aspects of the elements of fracture fixation. In this excellent volume, Dr Thakur has organized the basic principles and scientific rationales involved in fracture fixations. His easy-to-understand descriptions of screws, plates, nails, wires, cables and external fixators are good resource tool, and provide a thorough review of basic biomechanics. The Elements of Fracture Fixation is an exquisite compendium of fracture fixation implants, written by an experienced surgeon, for residents, fellows and masters. It explains the fundamentals of fracture fixation in a format that is concise, well organized and easy to follow, and addresses the biomechanical principles and usage techniques of the wide range of modern orthopaedic trauma implants in use today. It is certainly a well-illustrated, most concise, clear and well-written book on the various implants and concepts of fracture fixation.

This book talks about developing and improvising upon medical presentations by equipping readers with critical technical tips and tricks to use popular presentation programs like PowerPoint or Keynote effectively. The book details numerous remedial measures for qualitative improvement of average medical presentations. It has three sections: first covers the general aspects of preparing a presentation; the second provides practical details and refinements of preparing a medical presentation; the last section deals with niceties of podium and webinar presentations. The chapters cover many serious mistakes and remedial measures to improve average medical presentations, such as a description of purposeful use of colors in a slide, a brief discourse on technicalities of appropriate clinical image formats for projection ensues; the use of drawing and photo-editing programs to inject excellence in the contents of a medical presentation to help it stand out in the crowd, details on the importance of lexical correctness- typography, line spacing and alignment to enhance the impact of the presented text and many more. Several short videos support and actively promote the viewpoints discussed in the text. This book elaborates on the exquisite art of creating remarkable medical presentations for a specialized audience. This book is a must-have for all healthcare professionals of all specialties and grades who make podium presentations in a medical conference webinar or submit posters for display.
