This excellent book must be read and earn by all orthopaedic surgeon who treat and understand acetabular fractures. Emille Letournel was a master and also a pioneer in orthopaedic surgery. We learnt the acetabulum from him. The second edition was published in 1993 but it is still a greatfully source. He has described everything which related acetabular fractures, x-rays, results of the operative treatment, aproaches etc., In summary, if you like to treat the fractures of the acetabulum with operative modalities, you must buy one. Thank you Emille Letournel for this great present!

I was always looking for a book that can give me clear understanding and comperhensive coverage to the subject of acetabular fractures till I found the fractures of the acetabulum by Emile Letournel and I didn't believe the amount of knowldge given by this author and the effort behind this book and his experience over 40 years in assessing and treating pelvic and acetabular fractures I recommended this book to every orthopaedic surgeon to be his reference in treating acetabular fractures.

This book is an unsurpassed masterpiece. If you want to learn about acetabular fractures disgnostics and treatment, you have to pass through it and read like the bible. Keep in your library as a cornerstone in the story of medicine. It is the result of years of work by Emile Letournel and Robert Judet. Vive la France!
