Fractures of the Pelvis and Acetabulum Now Available in a Two-Volume Set
New York, NY, March 18, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The fourth edition of the well-known and highly regarded "Fractures of the Pelvis and Acetabulum" by Marvin Tile, David L. Helfet, James F. Kellam, and Mark Vrahas, has just been published in a two-volume set by the AO Foundation and Thieme. Each volume emphasizes decision making based on the assessment of the injury via the patient’s history, physical examination, and interpretation of radiographic investigations. This publication includes hundreds of high-quality images and illustrations as well as access to video presentations demonstrating surgical approaches.
“Although the book has evolved in this fourth edition to a two-volume multiauthored text, with new videos, new illustrations, and extensive rewriting of the text, I am proud, along with my coeditors, that the basic philosophy of care of the severely injured patient has remained; care based on a careful assessment of the personality of the injury including both patient and fracture factors. Although our technology is rapidly changing, this philosophy will remain as the hallmark of exemplary patient care.” – from the Preface by Marvin Tile, CM, MD, BSc(Med), FRCS(C)
Based on the AO principles of operative management of fractures with content reflecting the expertise of more than 80 world-renowned surgeons, this two-volume set will be treasured by orthopaedic surgeons throughout the world.
