This issue, focusing on Osteoporosis and Fragility Fractures, will open with a general overview of fragility fractures, common treatments, and costs involved. The issue then focuses on a variety of different topics, like new therapies, atypical and extraordinarily complex fractures, and an update on treatment protocols. Because of the very nature of fragility fractures, much of the content is focused on the geriatric patient, though not all.

Surgical strategies for complex problems in upper extremity trauma Thieme congratulates David L. Helfet on being chosen by New York magazine for its prestigious ‘Best Doctors 2017' list. Written by leading trauma surgeons, Solutions for Complex Upper Extremity Trauma is a state-of-the-art reference for current best practices for managing acute and chronic trauma and reconstructive problems post-trauma in the upper extremity. Chapters are arranged according to the anatomic location of the problem, progressing from the shoulder girdle down to the forearm. Each chapter presents authoritative coverage of anatomy, etiology, nonoperative treatments, surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes. Ideal as both a textbook and a review prior to surgery, this book provides all the essential information for successful patient care. Highlights: Clinical insights from internationally recognized authorities in the field Comprehensive coverage of both acute and chronic situations Recommendations for handling special situations, including history of prior surgeries and bone loss, and other comorbidities, such as osteopenia and rheumatoid arthritis Guidelines for managing complications, such as infection, instability, stiffness, and neurologic symptoms More than 250 high-quality photographs and drawings that demonstrate technical concepts and key points This unique book, complete with expert insights and focused, in-depth coverage of trauma to the upper extremity, is ideal for orthopedic and trauma surgeons at all levels of experience, residents, and fellows.
Demonstrating current management techniques for traumatic fractures and dislocations of the upper extremity, this atlas utilizes a practical, how-to structure, discussing philosophy, approach, patient positioning, prepping, draping, and surgical techniques for each type of injury. Generously illustrated with intraoperative photos, the chapters of this atlas are arranged by anatomic location, from the clavicle and shoulder down to the fingers, with each chapter briefly describing the thought processes involved in choosing surgical interventions and applied anatomy approaches, fixation selections, and techniques. Actual case examples, cadaver photos and plentiful radiographs illustrate the text for a strongly visual presentation, and a list of "Eglsederisms" - pithy bits of advice for residents and veteran surgeons alike - set the stage for a highly demonstrative resource for orthopedic and trauma surgeons, residents and fellows.
