Handbook of Orthopedic Surgical Procedures (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632425829)

Orthopedic surgical procedures are used for treating musculoskeletal trauma, injuries, degenerative diseases and tumors. Arthroscopy and arthroplasty are the principal surgical procedures in this field. Arthroplasty is a procedure in orthopedic surgery, which involves the replacement, realignment or remodeling of the articular surface of a musculoskeletal joint. It is done to relieve pain due to arthritis and restore function to the joint. Joint replacement, interpositional arthroplasty, silicone replacement arthroplasty, etc. are some of the different types of arthroplasty. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is done on a joint. It is done by inserting an arthroscope into the joint through a small incision. It is a great alternative to traditional surgery as it reduces recovery time and trauma. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different types of orthopedic surgical procedures and their clinical advances. It presents the complex subject of orthopedic surgery in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.
