Enriched by original anatomical artworks this atlas comprehensively presents the diverse orthopaedic approaches to lower limb surgery. Combining clear visual information with a consistent and concise structure, including tips, tricks and pitfalls, this manual presents all the most used approaches in orthopaedic prosthetic surgery and traumatology. Ranging from the hip to the ankle each chapter includes a clear presentation of the joint’ s anatomy, with particular emphasis on vessels, nerves and other relevant anatomic structures. Beautiful water-colour illustrations realized by one of the authors accompany the reader step-by-step through each of the approaches described. This atlas offers a timely and up-to-date resource for both practicing and fellow orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in lower limb surgery.

This concise volume contains the essential information an orthopaedic surgeon needs for safe access to the internal structures of the limbs for the whole range of orthopaedic operations.

Thompson presents the latest data in thoroughly updated diagnostic and treatment algorithms for all conditions while preserving the popular at-a-glance table format from the previous edition. You'll get even more art from the Netter Collection as well as new radiologic images that visually demonstrate the key clinical correlations and applications of anatomical imaging. For a fast, memorable review of orthopaedic anatomy, this is a must-have. - Maintains the popular at-a-glance table format that makes finding essential information quick and convenient. - Contains useful clinical information on disorders, trauma, history, physical exam, radiology, surgical approaches, and minor procedures in every chapter. - Lists key information on bones, joints, muscles, and nerves in tables correlate to each Netter image. - Highlights key material in different colors—pearls in green and warnings in red—for easy reference. - Features both plain film and advanced radiographic (CT and MRI) images, along with cross-sectional anatomic plates for an even more thorough visual representation of the material. - Features both plain film and advanced radiographic (CT and MRI) images, along with cross-sectional anatomic plates for an even more thorough visual representation of the material. - Includes additional common surgical approaches to give you a broader understanding of techniques. - Incorporates reorganized Complicated Arthology tables for large joints, such as the shoulder, knee, and hip, for increased clarity and to incorporate new artwork and additional clinical correlations. - Reflects new data and current diagnostic and treatment techniques through updates to the Disorders and Fractures sections and the Physical Exam and Anatomic tables in each chapter. - Presents the very latest developments in the field through thoroughly updated diagnostic and treatment algorithms for all clinical conditions.

Professor Walter Thiels brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionise macroscopic surgery because - due to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain their living colour, consistency and position. This new technique, Thiels exceptional abilities as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of astonishing depth and clarity. Apart from the topographical anatomy of the abdomen and lower extremities, Part I illustrates the most important punctures of joints and many surgical approaches. Thus this atlas is not only of interest to anatomists and pathologists but particularly to surgeons and orthopaedic surgeons - in fact all doctors requiring a 3D presentation of human anatomy.

The must-have book for candidates preparing for the oral component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth).
