Handbook of Orthopaedic Trauma Implantology

This work aims to comprehensively cover essential orthopedic trauma implants and their application in both upper and lower limbs. Readers will gain insight into the invention, advantages, and disadvantages of various implants, along with the rationale behind their current designs, biomechanics, and materials. Additionally, the book addresses fracture fixation and general considerations when comparing different subgroups of implants, such as nails versus plates or ORIF versus external fixation.

The book is divided into several sections such as upper and lower limbs, spine, and pelvis. Unique sections are dedicated to pediatric implants, implant removal, metallurgy and bone grafts. It is is written and edited by experienced surgeons from around the world.

Currently, there are no specific reference books on this topic. Only various commercial companies offer operative manuals and inventory lists detailing their own products.

This highly informative and meticulously presented book serves as both a practical and a theoretical guide for practicing orthopedic surgeons, scientists/researchers, academicians, as well as students, orthopedic technicians and nurses.
