For nearly 40 years, Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic
Approach has helped orthopaedic surgeons enhance their anatomic
knowledge, increase safety, and improve patient outcomes. The fully
revised sixth edition carries on the legacy of Dr. Stanley Hoppenfeld
(1934-2020), whose ideas have influenced orthopaedic surgical care
worldwide. Coauthored by Piet de Boer and Dr. Richard Buckley, this
bestselling reference provides a clear view of orthopaedic anatomy from
the surgeon's perspective using easy-to-follow descriptions and hundreds
of superb full-color illustrations.
