Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the internal fixation of long bones by using intramedullary locked nails in a closed technique. Intramedullary fixation fulfils the biological requirements for fracture healing and minimises surgical trauma. The text illustrates the use and relevance of this technique in orthopaedic and trauma surgery including reconstructive surgery, covering the basic scientific principles of reaming and locking as well as basic and advanced surgical techniques. Prevention of complications and complication management are also discussed in detail, making it an ideal text for those with an interest in the proper use the techniques described.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"It is a slim volume (170 pages) from the Springer stable and, as one would expect, is beautifully put together. The line drawings are perfect, the radiographs very well produced and the intra-operative images, which are often difficult to obtain, are also good." (M. Barry, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 87B (5), 2005)
