Editorial Reviews

Review

"The majority of this textbook is dedicated to detailing the techniques available for the repair of fractures which it does admirably. ...The illustrations, which range from simple line drawings to photographs and algorithms, are excellent. When you combine these visual aids with concise and accurate descriptions, the result is a very useful guide for the beginner orthopaedic surgeon whilst at the same time acting as a reference tool for the more experienced operator. The information given on complications, corrective osteotomies and arthrodesis is also very well presented and useful. Bold print sentences and highlighted comments in the page margins...may be useful for students doing last minute preparation for an examination." --Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology

This book deals with orthopaedics and traumatology in small animals medicine, also considering common approaches in human and veterinary medicine. The book satisfies a long-felt need: it carries on the traumatology and practical experience. Inform the reader about new and gentle operating techniques, material improvement of implants as well as latest news about small animals orthpaedics.
