DESCRIPTION:
This textbook presents the full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders, covering their definitions, epidemiology, physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment. Ranging from fractures, through infections and tumors, to dystrophies, the authors provide an up-to-date overview of the methodologies used in the diagnosis and management of common orthopedic conditions. The content is divided into several sections: disorders are grouped by typology in the opening section, and subsequently grouped anatomically, offering readers a quick and convenient reference guide to fundamental concepts in everyday orthopedic care. Written by an international panel of experts, it offers a valuable asset for students and residents approaching the study of orthopedics, pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine, rheumatology and rehabilitation. It further can be of interest also for practicing orthopedic surgeons, as well as nurses, physical therapists and athletic trainers.
