Reviews
''In this book Weber presents a summary of his most important contributions with illustrations from his huge slide collection. It certainly will stimulate all of us to really reconsider asepsis, to analyze fracture patterns and their possible complications, and finally their optimal, but individualized treatment possibilities. Many surgeons worldwide, including myself, will confirm that Hardi Weber's technical and more philosophical contributions influenced and will continue to influence our own view of orthopedic surgery.'' -- Rene K. Marti, President of the AO Foundation 2002-2004
