Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery: Volume 2: Lower Extremity Fractures and Dislocation

Introducing “Fracture Surgery: Lower Extremity” by Peifu Tang and Hua Chen, a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of guiding surgery by anatomy, fixation by biomechanics, and clinical procedures by functional recovery. This book is the second volume in a series of three, each of which covers different aspects and types of extremity and axial skeleton fractures. With more than 3,000 illustrations and photos in three volumes, the book discusses injury mechanisms, classification, assessment, and surgical methods.

In each chapter, the book presents the applied anatomy of the fracture site, which highlights the relationship between the anatomical structure and surgery. By emphasizing the structure that must be protected and repaired during surgery, the book provides a practical framework for understanding the surgical approach. Additionally, the biomechanical characteristics of the fracture site are described, enabling the reader to select the appropriate fixation method based on the mechanical environment.

In most chapters on periarticular fractures, the book also describes in detail how the joints fulfil their function, which is often the core of clinical decision-making. This approach provides a practical and comprehensive guide to surgical techniques and skills, supported by a large number of illustrations and clinical examples.

One of the notable features of the book is the use of an outline-style format instead of the traditional paragraph-by-paragraph discussion. This approach helps to extract the essence of each topic in a more succinct manner, which improves the logical flow and concision and thereby improves the readability of the book.

The second volume of “Fracture Surgery” focuses on lower extremity fractures, with 12 chapters covering the classification, assessment, and surgical management of different types of lower extremity fractures. The book covers typical and new surgical techniques developed in recent years, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field.

Overall, “Fracture Surgery: Lower Extremity” is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the principles and techniques of fracture surgery. The book is well-written and highly informative, providing a comprehensive guide to surgical techniques and skills.
