Focusing exclusively on the older patient with poor bone quality,
this unique book presents the indications, contraindications and
common techniques - as well as the risks, benefits and outcomes -
for utilizing arthroplasty for the treatment of fractures in this
population, sensibly divided into four thematic sections. The
incidence and burden of fragility fractures is presented in part
one, with considerations of the influences of osteoporosis on both
treatment and healing. The subsequent three sections cover upper
extremity fractures, lower extremity fractures, and peri-articular
nonunions, respectively. However, far from providing a simple
"how-to" for the techniques discussed, the relevant current
literature is presented as well as the common techniques employed
in fracture management, allowing the reader to select the best
approach for the specific patient presentation. In addition,
chapters are included here that cover degenerative joint conditions
not typically treated with total joint replacement. The treatment
of fragility fractures is constantly evolving, and the aging
population is consistently expanding, creating a strong need for
clinicians who have experience with and exposure to the use of
arthroplasty techniques as an option in their successful treatment.
Written and edited by leaders in the field, Arthroplasty for the
Treatment of Fractures in the Older Patient is an invaluable
resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents and support staff who
see and treat these increasingly common injuries.
