Unique decision-tree format provides rapid decision-making tool
covering a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries Few if any
medical fields share the complexity of injuries and the number of
available treatments that exist in orthopaedic trauma. Deciding on
the most efficacious treatment can often be difficult. In this
digital age with a tsunami of medical information and conflicting
data on numerous approaches, practitioners who treat orthopaedic
trauma often find it problematic to make "evidence-based" choices.
Decision Making in Orthopaedic Trauma is the largest compendium of
orthopaedic trauma algorithms assembled to date. The decision trees
cover a broad spectrum of cases - from simple isolated fractures -
to severe, life-threatening conditions. The decisions on which
action to perform in each situation are largely based on the
personal experiences of the individual authors, all members of the
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) / Zuckerberg San
Francisco General (ZSFG) Orthopaedic Trauma Institute. When the
decisions are supported by published scientific literature, the
relevant publications are cited. Visually appealing,
easy-to-comprehend decision trees detail underlying pathologies,
suspected diagnoses, required imaging studies, possible treatment
approaches, rehabilitation, expected outcomes, and postsurgical
care. The format is more conducive to swiftly acquiring knowledge
and making informed decisions than traditional texts and websites.
Key Features Management of a wide range of emergencies including
compartment syndrome, open fractures, peripheral nerve injuries,
mangled extremities, and multiple trauma Perioperative care - from
acute and chronic pain management - to venous thromboembolism
prevention and the use of regional anesthesia Major sections
organized by anatomic region cover upper extremity, lower
extremity, pelvic, hip, and spine trauma Clinical pearls on the
management of osteoporotic, neoplastic, and periprosthetic
fractures and fracture complications Impacted anatomy, differential
diagnoses, and possible approaches visualized through high-quality
color illustrations and radiographs Consistent color scheme
differentiates actions, imaging, and rehabilitation guidelines
Appendices provide a quick reference on imaging, bracing, and
rehabilitation recommendations This uniquely formatted, visually
rich book will enable surgeons, physicians, and residents to
understand and apply critical decisions to a wide range of
fractures, dislocations, nerve injuries, and musculoskeletal
complications.
