Rockwood, Green, and Wilkins' Fractures, 10e Package

PREFACE

Since its first edition over 60 years ago, Rockwood and Green’s Fractures in Adults continues its legacy of excellence in this tenth edition. We have continued our work to make the chapters as easy to read and reference as possible without losing depth of coverage. Each of the clinical chapters is consistently formatted for ease of access to critical information, including checklists for preoperative planning and key surgical steps, tables of potential pitfalls and preventative measures. In addition, many chapters include annotated references for the key trials and studies in each area. The “Author’s Preferred Treatment,” which has been popular since its introduction, is presented succinctly with an algorithm for treatment based on the more in-depth information within the body of the chapter. The eBook that is a part of the purchase for most versions includes more than 70 procedural videos.

Expanded coverage includes two completely new chapters on Artificial Intelligence and 3D-Guided Surgery in Orthopae dic Trauma, and Regional Anesthesia for Fractures and Dislo cations. In addition, coverage of periprosthetic fractures of the up per extremity has been deepened—fractures of the olecranon, proximal radius, and radial head. Atypical femur fractures are also covered in more detail. We have worked to ensure that all topics are presented in a comprehensive, readable, beautifully illustrated review. We remain indebted to the experts who contribute their expertise and time to make this a resource that improves the care of orthopaedic trauma patients worldwide—that remains the goal for all of us.
