Osteotomies in the treatment of degenerative and posttraumatic arthritis 
seem to be a lost art. Even for young patients joint replacement is in vogue.

An 
international group of renowned surgeons present an outstanding hands-on 
approach to perform correction osteotomies in posttraumatic deformities from the 
clavicle to the foot.

Most of the content is based on case presentations and 
each case provides step-by-step description of case history, planning, surgical 
approach, osteotomy, fixation, rehabilitation, and finally pitfalls and pearls. 
Hundreds of full-color pictures, precise illustrations, and x-rays demonstrate 
the significant steps in deformity corrections. Long-term follow-ups demonstrate 
the efficacy of osteotomies in the treatment of malunions.

In the principle part 
preceding the case presentations relevant theoretical information on 
posttraumatic deformities and osteotomies, operative techniques, and fixation 
methods, as well as the formation of a surgical plan is provided. Overall the 
book features over 110 detailed case presentations.

This book should convince 
surgeons to use osteotomies in the treatment of posttraumatic deformities and 
consider joint-preserving techniques in the treatment of posttraumatic 
osteoarthritis.
