Zhang, Yingze
Clinical Epidemiology of Orthopaedic Trauma

With contributions by Yanling Su, Wei Chen, Juan Wang, Jiandong Hao.

This volume, a very extensive fracture classification study, comprehensively explores the distribution of fracture patterns in clinical practice. It is based on an in-depth review of more than 65,000 fractures in 60,000 patients at a leading international trauma center, with each fracture classified according to the widely accepted AO/OTA system for immediate recognition and analysis. Not only will readers get a full statistical overview of fracture location, segment, and type, but they will also learn key demographic data such as age, gender, incidence rate, and more. The book provides more than 2,000 anatomic diagrams, illustrations, and x-rays that clearly demonstrate how the AO/OTA fracture classification and coding system works, with important implications for treatment choices; easy-to-follow, standardized chapters that cover accepted classifications and nomenclature, anatomy, mechanisms of injury, epidemiological features, and tips on diagnosis and treatment for each bone and segment; multi-colored pie charts and bar graphs that make statistical information accessible and user-friendly; and numerous case examples reflecting the authors? depth and breadth of experience. A core reference for orthopedic surgeons and an indispensable reference for academic researchers. - This book is an authorized and updated translation from the simplified Chinese language edition published by Peoples's Medical Publishing House, Beijing, PRC. 2.
