This third edition represents a substantial revision of the second, with additional topics, material and illustrations. Aimed mainly at general and orthopaedic surgeons in Residency Training, the text provides learning and practical/revision topics for practising orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioners, radiologists, medical students, orthopaedic nurses, physiotherapists, radiographers and plaster technicians. This is what Professor Chris Bulstrode of Oxford thought of the 2nd edition (2004): This book is ideal for a medical student. The writing is crystal clear, the content comprehensive but not excessive and the price really low. It also covers an area rarely touched on in other books, orthopaedics and trauma in the third world. This is a huge subject but has many simple principles which have been forgotten in the first world. If you are going on an elective or are planning to work in the third world in ANY branch of medicine you would be wise to have this book on your shelf. Enjoy And this is what Dr Stephen Fox, a former orthopaedic resident in England, thought of the same edition: Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma provides a concise and practical coverage of orthopaedic medicine. Starting at basics for the medical undergraduate, the text explains basic anatomy and physiology and the principles of sound orthopaedic management. The latter section of the book (Parts III, IV and V) explores the challenging treatment decisions in day-to-day orthopaedic trauma management. Few books present these treatment options in such a pragmatic and unbiased manner. I can thoroughly recommend this book to all concerned in the management of acute orthopaedic trauma.

I decided to write this book because I am aware that the curriculum of most universities hardly provides for meaningful teaching or learning of orthopaedics at the undergraduate level. It is directed at Medical Students and Junior Surgical and Orthopaedic Residents, who may not have had the opportunity to learn a lot of orthopaedics during their brief introduction to the specialty in the medical school and who may not wish to specialize in orthopaedics but are, nevertheless, required to take care of patients with orthopaedic problems on orthopaedic and non-orthopaedic wards and clinics. The book covers bone diseases and trauma in Four Parts. Part I deals with the basic sciences as applied to orthopaedics. Part II discusses the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of the major groups of bone diseases, including arthritis, metabolic bone diseases, bone and joint infections, congenital abnormalities, bone tumours and back pain. Part III discusses the general principles of diagnosis and treatment of fractures and gives a regional survey of individual fractures of the upper and lower limbs, spine and pelvis. Part IV summarizes sickle-cell disease as it affects the skeleton as well as a mixed bag of less well-known orthopaedic diseases. The contents are based on three previous volumes: Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma (1988; 2004) and Orthopaedic Diseases: Summary of Principles and Management (2006) and A Patient and Carers Guide to Bone Diseases and Fractures (2010 . I believe that nurses, physiotherapists and radiographers will also find the book useful.
