Description

A standard textbook for 25 years, Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach is now in its Fourth Edition. Featuring 775 full-color illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches used in orthopaedics and offers a surgeon's-eye view of the important anatomy. Every chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, provides a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection. The Fourth Edition describes new minimally invasive approaches to the spine, proximal humerus, humeral shaft, distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal tibia. Other highlights contain new external fixation approaches for many regions and surgical approaches to the os calcis. New illustrations of the appendicular skeleton are integrated. New drawings show the important neurovascular structures this want to be protected.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent book!   2009-04-29
By S. Shannon (Reno, NV)
This book was recommended to me by my orthopaedic surgeon mentor and I have found it more than helpful to understand, follow and learn when I am in and out of surgery.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  simply magnificent   2007-11-16
By Ioannis Kontolatis (Athens Greece)
A safety net for anyone performing orthopaedic procedures weather a trainee or a specialist. Great detail and points out nicely potential pitfalls in a much better and more effective way than similar books. Very expensive but money well spent
Customer rating is 5 of 5  If you're in ortho you must get this.    2007-11-01

Every resident needs to get this book. Excellent information and anatomy gives you a leg up and makes you look good in the operating room.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Can't live without it   2006-07-31
By Max Gordon (Sweden)
This is a great book with most of the surgical approaches that I've come in contact with. It combines concise descriptions of the anatomy with graphics in a nice, easy-to-access way.

The arthroscopic chapters are a little lame but the classical, exposures are simply a must for any resident that want to learn the different exposures.

When comparing, I find that the latest edition hasn't added that much to the book and I wouldn't recommend getting the latest edition unless your very into colors.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great but very expensive book   2005-02-02
By Bashir (Lahore, Pakistan)
I believe all hospital libraries should hold a copy of this excellent book. The price is rather steep for an individual and therein lies my only crib against this book. I had to fork over almost a month's pay to get my copy. On to what I think of the content.

Clear descriptions aided with crisp colour drawings make most exposures a breeze. This is an ideal book to look through before stepping into the OR. It is also I believe the only effort to approach anatomy from the orthopaedic surgeon's point of view. All good.

Bottom line: Con your hospital/department to buy it for you. If they refuse to play ball, start saving because you want this one on your desk.
