This introductory textbook of orthopaedics provides medical students, trainee surgeons and other health professionals with an invaluable overview of this study.

This updated version has full-colour illustrations, and remains essential reading for those preparing for higher surgical examinations, the more discriminating undergraduate, and all who aspire to practise orthopaedics and its related disciplines.

This second edition introductory textbook (first, 1988) for the undergraduate medical student has been extensively updated and includes detailed new illustrations. The three parts cover general orthopaedics, regional orthopaedics, and fractures and joint injuries, describing mechanisms of injury, the healing process, diagnostic tests and disability.
