Synopsis of Orthopaedic Trauma Management. Brian H. Mullis

      Preface

      There are a number of reference materials available to orthopaedic surgeons which give extensive detail to the expert for specific musculoskeletal conditions; however, there are few easily accessible resources available for treatment of musculoskeletal trauma patients. This text has been written by leading experts in the field as a resource for the initial provider which might include but is not limited to a nurse, an emergency department physician, a general surgeon, an orthopaedic surgeon, a resident, a medical student, or an advanced provider. The book was written to serve as a quick reference to initiate immediate treatment and to help serve as a primer for definitive treatment and rehabilitation. A major emphasis has been placed on the inclusion of up-to-date clinically relevant information with intentional omission of traditional dogma.

      The bullet format was designed to be quickly and easily navigated. Original illustrations and radiographic examples efficiently supplement the written content. The e-book gives additional resources including a video library. Written chapters and videos have been performed by nationally recognized experts in the field. Content experts present the most pertinent information in a concise fashion through an outline format enhanced by figures to help the non-expert gain confidence in the initial treatment and management of specific musculoskeletal conditions. The book will also provide an improved comprehension of definitive treatment principles and rehabilitation of patients following injury. In addition to specific chapters discussing injuries, there is a general section to help with the understanding of the basic science and other treatment principles for musculoskeletal trauma.
