Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery

FRCS Trauma and Orthopaedics Viva offers a unique approach to this high stakes exam, from the team behind the highly successful Oxford revision course. Based on the principle that viva candidates improve their technique by observing and learning from others, the author team have created a best-practice formula for dealing with the individual scenarios. Set out in a simple format, viva topics are introduced by an initial clinical photograph, radiograph or diagram, followed by sets of questions with the suggested answers on the next page. Less

All physicians are involved in the management of pain at some level or other, with orthopedic surgeons at the frontline of delivering perioperative pain care for a wide variety of problems that range from skeletal trauma, joint replacement procedures, and bone tumors to spinal conditions. Orthopedists need to be able to diagnose pain and be cognizant of the common and rare painful conditions that present perioperatively so that they can manage them effectively. This book assists surgeons in safe perioperative care from preoperative evaluation, to laboratory tests, to imaging orders and interpretations for patients with acute pain and also for those chronic pain patients undergoing surgery. It focuses on how to solve common dilemmas facing orthopedic surgeons who are managing patients with pain-related problems and assist in clinical decision-making. Chapters explore essential topics required for the orthopedist to quickly assess the patient with pain, diagnose pain and painful conditions, determine the feasibility and safety of surgical procedure needed, and arrange for advanced pain management consults and care if needed.Less

Spine Imaging uses a classic, case approach to provide multimodality imaging studies and management guidance of spine pathologies for the consulting radiologist as well as the neurologist, orthopedist, or emergency clinician diagnosing and managing spinal patients. Eighty cases are organized into sections by pathological process and include a clinical description followed by discussion on radiological findings, clinical management, and a summary of key points. An additional section on imaging signs closes the volume. Cases address which image findings are clinically significant and which are not, how to understand the severity of an injury, and when additional advanced imaging is needed, making Spine Imaging an essential resource for board and recertification examination preparation.Less
