Orthopedic Trauma Care

Handbook Orthopaedic Trauma Care This handbook offers a thorough overview, explaining the fundamentals of orthopaedic trauma care such as wound and fracture healing; injuries of shoulder and humerus; elbow and forearm injuries; wrist and hand injuries; spine and pelvis injuries; hip and femur injuries; knee and leg injuries; foot and ankle injuries; compartment syndrome; and the importance of documentation. The book is well structured, clearly arranged, and concise. It offers clear definitions, practical notes with background information, and hands-on instructions for patient treatment. I highly recommend it as the introduction to orthopaedic trauma care. This handbook can certainly be used as a quick reference.
