Audience: Although written for general orthopedic surgeons taking trauma call in the community, this book also will prove useful to residents or registrars taking trauma call while training. The 49 chapters are written by experts in their particular orthopedic trauma niche.
Features: The chapters are presented in an easy-to-read bulleted format, allowing readers to rapidly review critical factors needed for both emergent and definitive management of the different injuries that an orthopedic surgeon might face when taking trauma call.
