Medical and scientific publishing house Thieme and the AO Foundation have announced the publication of the third edition of the highly acclaimed two-volume set - AO Principles of Fracture Management.
Nearly 3 million joint replacement operations are performed every year, resulting in a substantial increase in periprosthetic fractures. Demographic changes and an aging population have led to an exponential rise in fragility fractures. Recent advances include better defined locking plates, expanded types of anatomically pre-shaped plates and mini-fragment implants, and groundbreaking minimally invasive procedures. Significant progress in the resuscitation of patients with war-related polytrauma has altered timing and approaches to fracture surgery. Concurrently, a solid evidence base derived from an increasing number of large national randomized trials has improved treatment paradigms. These advances and more are discussed in this two-volume set.
While the fundamental principles of fracture surgery have not changed in 60 years, greater biological and clinical knowledge coupled with advances in technology have led to significant improvements. Featuring contributions from more than 60 highly renowned surgeons, scientists, and medical professionals, this definitive guide is the go-to resource in fracture management.
