This book aims to provide a resource of high-quality clinical information and knowledge in key areas of orthopaedic surgery. Its contributors are medical professionals and researchers from around the world who draw on many years of experience to provide authoritative discussions of surgical techniques and practices. In the first part, a range of specialist issues in orthopaedic surgery are presented, including considerations for forearm compartment syndrome in children, hip arthroplasty after previous fracture surgery, and a review of the history, pharmokinetics and mechanisms of bisphosphonates, commonly used in the treatment of bone conditions such as osteoporosis. In the second part, techniques and considerations in bone grafting are the focus. Basic knowledge is provided, as well as discussions of subjects including the role of surgery in treating congenital pseudoarthrosis as part of a combined approach and osteonecrosis femoral head treatment. In part three, the role of osteotomy in correcting congenital and acquired skeletal disorders is considered; topics include special considerations for pelvic and hip osteotomy in children, high tibial osteotomy and minimally invasive techniques for hallux valgus correction in young patients. Surgeons and students of orthopaedic surgery will find this an excellent source of specialist, up-to-date information.
