 Practical Fracture Treatment has proved to be highly popular amongst junior doctors, orthopaedic trainees and medical students. Now fully revised, it is a well illustrated, step by step account of the treatment of fractures.Fourth edition of a highly respected and successful book, which is regarded as a standard, "on-the-job" guide in most accident and emergency departments and orthopaedic theatres. Unique line diagrams drawn by the author, organised in a comic-strip fashion to give clear, step by step guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of fractures. Detailed guidance on individual fractures for the hard pressed SHO in the A&E department. Revised to take account of increased tendency towards operative management of fractures. It covers indications for and principles of operative management, without going into detail on operative technique, and continues to provide sound guidance on conservative management. Fracture classification systems which are too complex for "on the job" reference by trainee level staff have been dropped from the text. Improved reproduction of X rays. Thorough updating of all text and illustrations. Line diagrams will be redone using shades of gray to give a clearer, brighter and more up to date appearance
