Up-to-date and practically-focused, the fully revised secondedition of the Oxford Handbook of Trauma and Orthopaedics has received a major refresh, including new topics, illustrations, summary boxes, and key references.

It provides clinical professionals, trainees, and students with essential information for use with adult and paediatric patients, in the operating room, in tutorials, and when studying for exams including MRCS, FRCS, and other orthopaedic diplomas.

Presenting both the fundamental science and practice alongside higher-level discussion in a succinct and user-friendly style, it is a concise but definitive guide to the field.

Key illustrations and easy-reference diagrams guide the reader, and the appendices provide information on common drugs and fracture classifications.

New topics include pre-hospital care, major trauma, setup of theatre complex, global ortho-paedics, and EBM, hip fractures, soft tissue knee injuries, cauda equina, and metastatic spinal cord compression.

Written by specialists and trainees, the Handbook is an accessible and informative tool suitable for all levels of training.
