{"product_id":"handbook-0f-orthopaedic-knowledge-2026-gordon-t-collins-9798180639400","title":"Handbook 0f Orthopaedic Knowledge 2026: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of the Injured Skeleton for ABOS Candidates","description":"Quick flag before I deliver: the instructions you pasted describe a geriatrics title - \"frail patient on twelve medications,\" \"young-adult guidelines applied to older patients,\" \"missed delirium,\" and an audience of \"geriatricians, internists, hospitalists... caring for older adults.\" That's a template carried over from a different book. This book is the orthopaedic handbook, so writing a geriatrics description would misrepresent it and fail Amazon's accuracy rules. I've kept your exact structure and tone rules (hook → agitation → promise → bullets → audience → CTA) but written every line true to the actual content and the Decision Threshold System. Plain text, Amazon-ready, no prohibited phrases, 200-280 words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe displaced femoral neck fracture in the eighty-year-old, the \"normal\" wrist film hiding a perilunate dislocation, the hot swollen knee that cannot wait for a culture - you decide, and you decide now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMiss the threshold and the cost is real: the compartment syndrome called fracture pain, the slipped epiphysis chased as knee pain, the biopsy that turns a salvageable limb into an amputation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis handbook trains the one skill that separates recognizing a pattern from managing it: finding the finding that changes your decision, and knowing where the line falls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eInside this book: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Name it, then act\u003c\/b\u003e - the Decision Threshold System reads every injury in five parts: Pattern, Recognition Signature, the Classification That Counts, Trap Logic, and Decision Threshold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Catch the emergencies others miss\u003c\/b\u003e - read compartment syndrome by delta pressure, knee dislocation by ABI, and necrotizing infection before imaging slows you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Choose the right hip operation\u003c\/b\u003e - let Garden displacement and age decide fixation versus arthroplasty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Clear return to play by criteria, not the calendar\u003c\/b\u003e - and reconstruct the ACL by demand, not by MRI alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Read the dangerous spine\u003c\/b\u003e - apply TLICS to thoracolumbar injury and catch cauda equina before a nonoperative trial costs function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Protect the limb at biopsy\u003c\/b\u003e - stage and refer the aggressive bone lesion before the first cut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Decide pediatrics by age and stability\u003c\/b\u003e - DDH by age, SCFE by stability, the supracondylar pulseless hand by perfusion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Find the line on call\u003c\/b\u003e - the Decision Threshold Atlas indexes all 54 thresholds by region and setting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten for orthopaedic residents, fellows, ABOS candidates, and the surgeons, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who manage musculoskeletal injury when the decision cannot wait. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePut it on your shelf and in your call bag, and decide with the confidence every patient on your table deserves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon T.
