Revised, updated and expanded, Operative Orthopaedics: The Stanmore Guide 2e is a definitive and comprehensive guide to elective orthopaedic surgery. It is suitable for junior trainees during their various orthopaedic rotations and senior trainees preparing for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examination. With the emphasis on surgical techniques employed, and the reasoning and evidence base behind them, this book is both a practical instruction manual and a revision tool for the examination. The procedures identified by the Specialist Advisory Committee, including areas such as tumour surgery, paediatrics and limb reconstruction, are included. Each chapter follows a simple and consistent format explaining the surgery from pre-operative planning and consent, through to approaches, techniques and postoperative care. The chapters also include key references and sample viva questions to extend and reinforce learning.
