The second edition of this book provides a practical guide to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in orthopedics for both the upper and lower limb. Extensively revised chapters provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to perform basic clinical and surface anatomy examinations on joints including the hand, elbow and ankle, the application of relevant surgical procedures and post-operative management. New topics covered include cruciate ligament injuries, and robot assisted surgery. Orthopedics of the Upper and Lower Limb is an ideal resource for trainees and junior surgeons seeking an easy to follow clinical manual on how to successfully diagnose and treat patients with orthopedic disorders affecting both limbs. It is also of use to the experienced practitioner seeking a detailed resource on the latest advances in the field.
