Elsevier eBook on VitalSource
Help your students discover the technical solution to any musculoskeletal case they may encounter in daily practice with Brinker, Piermattei, and Flo’s Handbook of Small Animal Orthopedics and Fracture Repair, 5th Edition. This trusted handbook is the expert reference they need to successfully understand, diagnose, and treat the wide variety of conditions affecting the locomotor system in small animals. As with previous editions, this comprehensive handbook offers students a clear and consistent description of the most common orthopedic conditions along with the pathology, diagnostic work-up, surgical indications and planning, surgical approach, surgical techniques, complications, and follow-up recommendations that accompany them. This new edition also includes the latest information on fractures, musculoskeletal diseases, and the advances in methods of fixation, lameness correction, and joint surgery. Not only will students gain access to routinely used orthopedic treatments — such as plating, wiring, and pinning techniques — this handbook also discusses the more complex modalities — like bone grafting, reconstructive joint surgery, and osteochondrosis. With this unrivaled reference, students will have the expert guidance they need to successfully diagnose and treat nearly any musculoskeletal case they may encounter in daily practice.
