Orthopedic surgery is the branch of surgery that is concerned with the
surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions. The treatment of
musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative diseases, tumors, spine diseases,
congenital disorders and sports injuries come under the scope of this
field. Orthopedic surgical procedures may fall under the categories of
total joint replacement, spine surgery, total joint reconstruction, foot
and ankle surgery, etc. Some of the common orthopedic procedures are
knee arthroscopy, knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder
arthroscopy, repair of femoral neck fracture, laminectomy, low back
intervertebral disc surgery, lumbar spinal fusion, etc. Modern
orthopedic surgery is often less invasive and involves implanted
components that are better and more durable. The objective of this book
is to give a general view of the different operative techniques in
orthopedic surgery. The ever growing need of advanced surgical
interventions is the reason that has fueled the research in this domain
in recent times. This book is a vital tool for all researching or
studying orthopedics as it gives incredible insights into emerging
trends and concepts.
