Apley's Concise System of Orthopaedics and Fractures Third Edition

Summary:
This leading introductory textbook of orthopaedics provides medical students, trainee surgeons and other health professionals with an invaluable overview of this important specialty. Praised in previous editions for the systematic approach, balanced content and easy-to-read style, the new edition has been brought fully up to date, with additional detail on anatomy, an improved focus on actual diseases and clinical signs and the introduction of handy 'stop check' points. Over 800 illustrations, many new to this third edition, are arranged as composites to provide a clear, pictorial account of the subject, and can be used in association with the text and as a revision tool.



The book remains the first choice for those seeking a brief account of this large and complex subject, and is a natural precursor to the more detailed coverage offered by its larger parent 'Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures' for those wishing to pursue a career in orthopaedics.

• Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, reflecting the changing pattern of musculoskeletal disease around the world
• Includes additional detail on anatomy
• All new imaging technologies represented in the illustrative material
• Material on molecular biology and genetics revised and expanded, but with a clinical orientation
• Provides helpful guidance on simple procedures, without unnecessary operative detail
