Apley’s System of Orthopaedics and Fractures, 9th Edition

Since the publication of the first edition in 1959, Apley’s System of Orthopaedics and Fractures has been an essential textbook for those seeking to understand the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases and its response to trauma. The book’s success was initiated by the late Alan Apley’s skills as a teacher, and the care and forethought that he brought to the presentation of the content.The current authors have developed and extended this foundation to produce a thoroughly modern textbook of orthopaedic surgery, bringing complementary expertise while retaining the book’s characteristic philosophy and approach. They are joined by a selection of expert contributors from around the world, who add material on a wide variety of subjects including radiology, open fractures, neuromuscular disorders, and inflammatory arthropathies. This 9th edition echoes its predecessors in following Apley’s approach to the orthopaedic patient. As before, the work is divided ino three section: General Orthopaedics, Regional Orthopaedics, and Fractures and Joint Injuries.
