Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, Tenth Edition, CD-ROM WIN/MAC Version
edited by S. Terry Canale (Mosby) The definitive reference in orthopedic surgery
is back.
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics
is totally revised and updated to encompass over 1,800 procedures, including
90 that are new to this edition. S. Terry Canale, Professor and Chairman,
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Tennessee-Campbell Clinic, and
33 other leading authorities from the Campbell Clinic present encyclopedic,
in-depth coverage of the field, superbly organized for efficient access. This
landmark 4-volume set now includes a CD-ROM containing video clips that
demonstrate key surgical procedures.
Almost 75 years ago Willis Cahoon Campbell wrote his
Textbook on Orthopaedic Surgery. The first edition of
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics was published in 1939, and the authors
are now celebrating the tenth edition of the text.
The growth of the field of orthopaedic surgery has been
paralleled by the growth of
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics. The enormous advances in our
understanding of orthopaedic conditions and in the devices and techniques used
to treat them were made possible by pioneer physicians in orthopaedics, many of
whom also were contributors to earlier editions of the text. Significant
advances and contributions have been made in the field of orthopaedic surgery in
the areas of arthroscopy and arthroplasty and in the subspecialties of sports
medicine, hand, foot, pediatrics, joint reconstruction, and rehabilitation. The
inventions and innovations in each of these areas have lessened the burden of
disease on patients and will do so even more in the future. As a result of the
ever-expanding knowledge and experience of orthopaedic surgeons, in past
editions and especially in this edition,
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics has described the most useful of these
operative advances. As editor, Canale says the authors have not aspired to be
the first to “pick up the sword,” nor have they wanted to be the last to “drop
the shield.” They have attempted to include the mainstream, proven techniques,
along with some of the promising cutting-edge techniques and even some of the
older techniques that may be applicable to areas of the world where the latest
technology is unavailable.
In keeping up with the times and changing technology, this edition includes a CD-ROM with videos that demonstrate commonly performed orthopaedic operations.
Finally, key techniques in Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics are available in seven handheld (PDA) modules: adult reconstruction, congenital anomalies and pediatrics, spine, sports medicine and arthroscopy, hand, ankle and foot, and trauma.
New features of the 10th edition include:
- Techniques are numbered within each chapter.
- All techniques in each volume are listed on the front and back endsheets for quick reference.
- Key references in the exhaustive reference lists are highlighted in boldface type.
-
CD-ROM icons within the text indicate that the technique being described
also is demonstrated on the video CD.
The CD-ROM offer the entire contents of Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics in a versatile, digital format, plus
- The ability to rapidly search across the entire work.
- Links to MEDLINE abstracts for many of the references.
- A separate CD-ROM containing video clips of 10 key procedures.
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics is the comprehensive reference for
orthopaedic surgery and part of the minimal core for the general medical
library.
