Outcome Measures in Orthopaedic Trauma is a combined new edition of the successful Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Outcome Measures in Trauma that were the first books devoted to the topic of outcome measures for orthopedic trauma surgeons and researchers. The ability to measure results is vital for effective medical practice, particularly in view of the increased emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the introduction of the NICE guidelines. Evaluation of the success of failure of treatment is not only of importance to the patient and practitioner, but also to the health administrator as health care costs increase. Orthopedic and orthopedic trauma are highly complex subjects that can prove difficult to quantify, but accurate measurement is required for setting standards of care and for assessing the severity of an injury. Outcome Measures in Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Trauma helps the clinician fulfil his or her role in the outcome assessment by providing good references to sources of instruments and techniques used and assisting them in making an informed selection from the different scoring systems available. It will be of interest to orthopaedic and trauma surgeons as well as emergency personnel and lawyers, researchers and hospital administrators working in this area.

Elm brings the safety and stability of functional programing to front-end development, making it one of the most popular new languages. Elm's functional nature and static typing means that run-time errors are nearly impossible, and it compiles to JavaScript for easy web deployment. This book helps you take advantage of this new language in your web site development. Learn how the Elm Architecture will help you create fast applications. Discover how to integrate Elm with JavaScript so you can update legacy applications. See how Elm tooling makes deployment quicker and easier. Functional programming offers safer applications with decreased runtime errors, but functional solutions that are type safe and easy to use have been hard to find, until the Elm language. Elm has the benefits of functional languages while compiling to JavaScript. This book provides a complete tutorial for the Elm language, starting with a simple static application that introduces Elm syntax, modules, and the virtual DOM, to exploring how to create a UI using functions. See how Elm handles the issues of state in functional languages. You'll continue to build up larger applications involving HTTP requests for communication. Integrate your Elm applications with JavaScript so you can update legacy applications or take advantage of JavaScript resources. Elm also provides built-in tooling to alleviate the tooling creep that's so common in JavaScript. This book covers Elm's deployment and testing tools that ease development confusion. Dive into advanced concepts including creating single-page applications, and creating performance improvements. Elm expert Jeremy Fairbank brings his years of web development experience to teaching how to use Elm for front-end development. Your web UIs will be faster, safer, and easier to develop with Elm and this tutorial. What You Need: You will need the latest version of Elm, 0.18, along with a browser to run the examples in this book.

The Oxford Textbook of Trauma and Orthopaedics second edition provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant background science, theory, practice, decision-making skills and operative techniques required to provide modern orthopaedic and trauma care. The text is divided into five major sections covering fundamental science, adult orthopaedics, trauma, paediatric orthopaedics, and paediatric trauma, including a major subsection on tumours.
