Reviews

From the reviews: This book is devoted to the description of the most widely used classifications of the most frequent fractures in clinical practice. It is easy to read and to use. This book will be very useful first of all for the trauma residents but also for more experienced trauma surgeons. For each type of fracture one or several classifications are described. All classifications are illustrated by a very clear and simple drawing. (Didier Mainard, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Vol. 19, 2009)
