This textbook is based on the curriculum for US, UK, Canadian and Australasian Orthopedic trainees. It offers an in-depth summary of the knowledge needed to pass the boards and FRCS examination in Trauma and Orthopedic surgery. The focus is on basic information on every orthopedic subspecialty, including: surgical anatomy, basic sciences, adult reconstruction, pediatric orthopedics, foot and ankle surgery, orthopedic pathology, the spine, sports surgery, upper limb, wrist and hand surgery, and orthopedic traumas. All sections are written by experts in the respective field and utilize a consistent bullet-point format, chosen to facilitate the learning experience and help readers memorize and organize knowledge. A clear and concise "take-home message" section precedes each topic, and key references are highlighted at the end of each chapter.

In general, surgeons strive to achieve excellent results and ideal patient outcomes, however, this noble task is frequently failed. For patients, surgical complications are analogous to "friendly fire" in wartime. Both scenarios imply that harm is unintentionally done by somebody whose aim was to help. Interestingly, adverse events resulting from surgical interventions are more frequently related to system errors and a communication breakdown among providers, rather than to the imminent threat of the surgical blade "gone wrong". Patient Safety in Surgery aims to increase the safety and quality of care for patients undergoing surgical procedures in all fields of surgery. Patient Safety in Surgery, covers all aspects related to patient safety in surgery, including pertinent issues of interest to surgeons, medical trainees (students, residents, and fellows), nurses, anaesthesiologists, patients, patient families, advocacy groups, and medicolegal experts.

As medical information expands at an exponential pace, the ability to quickly identify relevant articles becomes increasingly difficult. Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed by Drs. Mark D. Miller, Cyril Mauffrey and David J. Hak offers a simple way to access and review the key points from the most relevant and important published articles. With Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed orthopedic trainees may be able to quickly review several articles in preparation for a morning conference presentation of patients with a specific injury, while practicing surgeons may be able to advise patients on the relative benefits of one treatment over another. Key references include: Classic articles Landmark articles Up-to-date reviews Important clinical trials Each article is formatted to include an article citation, a summation of the abstract, a summary of key points, and author commentary. This enables readers to quickly review “bottom-line� information from the most important articles and clinical trials in orthopedic sports medicine in order to effectively plan and guide treatment. Rapid Reference Review in Sports Medicine: Pivotal Papers Revealed is a great literary reference that will prove highly useful to orthopedic residents, fellows, and physician assistants.

External fixation in Orthopedic traumatology is a textbook that focuses on the use of external fixation in the acute management of patients with serious orthopedic injuries. The book highlights the indications for external fixation and provides an evidenced based guide to both the specialist orthopedic surgeon and the trainee. The manuscript is organised in 15 chapters covering the indications and surgical techniques for pelvis, lower limb and upper limb injuries, including detailed illustrations and clinical photographs that will enable the reader to rapidly visualise the structure of the construct and to plan the surgery accordingly. More general topics such as damage control orthopedics, the biomechanics of external fixation and medico-legal considerations surrounding the injured patients are also included to provide an overall picture of the Orthopedic trauma patient. The Combined experience of the editors and authors, their involvement in a number of external fixation system designs and their international reputation in the field contribute to making this textbook an essential tool that should be available to all orthopedic surgeons dealing with injured patients.
