Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach, 4th Edition

by Piet deBoer and Richard Buckley

A standard textbook for 25 years, Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach, is now in its fourth edition. Featuring 775 full-color illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches used in orthopaedics and provides a surgeon’s-eye view of the relevant anatomy. Each chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, gives a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights the potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection.

The Fourth Edition describes new minimally invasive approaches to the spine, proximal humerus, humeral shaft, distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal tibia. Other highlights include new external fixation approaches for many regions and surgical approaches to the os calcis. New illustrations of the appendicular skeleton are included. New drawings show the important neurovascular structures that need to be protected.

This book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
