A Contemporary Reference on Periprosthetic Fractures
New York, NY, February 18, 2014 --(PR.com)-- "Periprosthetic Fracture Management," by Michael Schütz, Carsten Perka, and Thomas Rüedi, recently published by Thieme and the AO foundation, provides the latest techniques for managing periprosthetic fractures (i.e., fractures around implants) from the world’s leading experts. Covering all relevant anatomical regions, it includes surgical pitfalls, complex cases, and a new comprehensive Unified Classification System, (UCS) on periprosthetic fractures that combines the original Vancouver classification with the AO/OTA Fracture and Dislocation Classification. Carefully selected case studies in the book illustrate and describe individual solutions for complex, problematic fractures.
“I would like to congratulate the editors and all the authors on a timely and remarkably well done volume and would recommend to all who manage these periprosthetic fractures this AO Manual as an absolute must.” – From the Foreword by David L. Helfet, MD
Orthopedic and trauma surgeons can use this book to expand their knowledge of the risk factors and assessment of periprosthetic fractures as well as available options for fracture fixation techniques and more complex revisions or reconstructive procedures.
