This book is the second volume on Osteosynthesis of Fractures and focuses on fractures of the spine-pelvis and lower extremities. It illustrates the techniques of fracture reduction clearly, using a step-wise approach with real time intra-operative photographs. Tips and tricks for how to avoid pitfalls are presented by a panel of experts to give the readers a complete overview of how to perform reduction techniques for different fracture types.

This book will be an essential guide for surgeons to utilise the available reduction instruments and preserve the vitality of the bone and surrounding soft tissues.

Reviews and Awards

"The primary audience are orthopedists and traumatologists who care for patients with skeletal trauma. Trainees in these areas would also benefit. ... This is an important and mature contribution to an already crowded field and is highly recommended to surgeons and their trainees who care for adult patients with skeletal trauma." (Edward Abraham, Doody's Book Reviews, May 8, 2020)
