Fractures of the Acetabulum
It has been a pleasure to comply with requests to publish this book in English. During the intervening years, there has been little to add to our views as to the best management of acetabular fractures, but an additional chapter has been incorporated comprising recent findings in our patients and slight changes in emphasis on the indications for operations. Additionally, having recognised that one of the greatest difficulties in this method of treatment lies in the pre-operative assessment of the standard radiographs, we have prepared a short series of radiographs which the reader may find advantageous for study. We are grateful to Mr. Reginald Eison who has translated and revised the French...

Transplantation
Organ transplantation has almost disappeared from headlines in the daily press, possibly because it failed to fulfill exaggerated expectations. Transplanta tion pathology has become more and more important, not only with relation to therapeutic transplantations but even more in its fundamental theories. There is some analogy here to the development in space science where spectacular achievements were followed by sobering frustrations and where, for the time being, the effect on technology is more fruitful than the outcome of the original far-reaching projects. That transplant rejection was defined, in most of its stages, as an immunologic process, has given many new impulses to immunology in...
Trauma
Progress in traumatology of the vertebral spine has been restrained for a long time by two hindering factors. The first obstacle is presented by the differences in approach and a conflict of competences. The neurosurgeons, considering only the spinal chord, have confined themselves to indications for laminectomy, an insufficient and usually ineffective intervention. The orthopedic surgeons, on the other hand, obsessed by the fear of medullary lesions, have long hesitated to apply the fundamental rules for the treatment of fractures, namely precise reduction followed by strict immobilization, thus depriving themselves of the efficacy of radiculomedul lar decompression and of the protection th...
Concepts and Cases in Nonunion Treatment
The gold standard for the treatment of nonunions was set by Weber and Cech in the early 1970s. With this new book the Editors René K Marti and Peter Kloen provide a comprehensive update on the state-of-the-art treatment of nonunions. More than 130 case descriptions are included in the unique cases section; the core of this collection represents 40 years of René Marti's personal experience in nonunion treatment, demonstrating the principle "technique over technology". The editors have also carefully selected additional cases, contributed by several experts in nonunion treatment. Each case provides step-by-step descriptions of case history, preoperative planning, surgical approach, reduction, fixation, rehabilitation, and finally pitfalls and pearls. Hundreds of full-color pictures, precise illustrations, and x-rays demonstrate the significant steps in nonunion treatment. In the principles preceding the case presentations relevant information on evolution, basic science aspects, nonoperative treatment, bone graft, as well as infected nonunions is provided. The guidelines and solutions presented for the management of nonunions support orthopedic and trauma surgeons worldwide.
The External Fixator
Professor B.G. WEBER has once again and in a very timely fashion produced a superb book on an orthopaedic subject of great importance. "The Extemal Fixator" is the most comprehensive text on the subject in orthopaedic literature to date. Professor WEBER thoroughly discusses extemal fixation with c1arity, organization, profuse illustrations and roentgenograms. Professor WEBER acknowledges that the use of extemal fixation in orthopaedic surgery is not newand traces its history over the years. He points out c1early the fact that though at various times the "method" has experienced periods of disrepute, modem sophistication, improved technology and a better understanding of its philosophy have g...
European Instructional Lectures
This eleventh volume in the EUROPEAN INSTRUCTIONAL LECTURES series continues the format of educational chapters from across Orthopaedics and Traumatology contributed by distinguished Orthopaedic Educators in Europe. It provides up-to-date material and major advances covering a range of topics including: General Orthopaedics, Basic Science and Technology, Musculo-skeletal Tumours, Infections, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Trauma, Spine, Upper Limb, Hip, Knee, Leg, Ankle and Foot. All the lectures were presented at the 12th EFORT Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark. The lectures are an authoritative source of information illustrated by radiographs, MRI and CT Scans, operative photographs, tables and line drawings. They are a valuable source of instruction for Surgeons and Trainees alike.
Osteonecrosis
The book Osteonecrosis covers the etiopathology of the disease including the research studies done on the different conditions associated with osteonecrosis. It will discuss in detail the various diagnostic tools including X-rays, CT scan, MRI and bone scan. Classification and staging are described at length with reference to importance in planning the treatment and correlation to prognosis. Various mimics of osteonecrosis are covered in the differential diagnosis. Association of sickle cell disease with osteonecrosis is covered in great details. Numerous illustrations have been included to en.

Röntgendiagnostik der Wirbelsäule / Roentgen Diagnosis of the Vertebral Column
Unsere Kenntnisse der Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen und ihrer Darstellung im Rönt genbild haben sich zwar in den letzten Jahrzehnten erheblich erweitert, doch sind nach wie vor noch widersprüchliche Auffassungen vorhanden, welche die Lücken unseres Wissens aufdecken. Es sei nur an die Genese der "Spondylolisthesis" oder an die Kontro verse "persistierende Wirbelkörperepiphyse"--"vordere Kantenabtrennung" erinnert. Ein intensiveres Studium verdient aber auch die Genese der unspezifischen Spondyli tiden - sowohl im Kindesalter als auch beim Erwachsenen -, wobei dem Nachweis der Grunderkrankung mit allen zur Verfügung stehenden Methoden eine besondere Bedeu tung zukommt. Für die Spondylitis t...
