Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures

Arnold publishers are pleased to announce a new edition of the `reigning classic' of orthopaedic textbooks, Apley's System of Orthopaedics & Fractures. Building on a 30 year tradition, this new edition will continue to be the essential reference for those seeking to understand the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases, and its response to trauma. Louis Solomon, who was Alan Apley's co-author on the previous two editions, has been joined by two new co-authors to develop and extended this foundation and produce a thoroughly modern textbook of orthopaedic surgery.

The book has been brought completely up-to-date and extended to cover current orthopaedic practice. Many new illustrations have been added and the new easy-to-read page layout now features colour throughout. As in previous editions, the book is divided into three sections: General Orthopaedics, Regional Orthopaedics, and Fractures and Joint Injuries. Information is provided on pathophysiology, biology and molecular genetics as well as on general principles, diagnosis and management.

Key Features:
* Completely re-written and re-illustrated
* New specialist authors
* Increased emphasis on trauma
* New format for easier reading

Readership:
Trainees in orthopaedic and trauma surgery, general surgeons in training and physiotherapists.
