Book SynopsisLooking for real-world surgical advice traditional textbooks often leave out? This heavily illustrated first volume of a brand-new series is a compendium of surgical wisdom from veteran attending surgeons passed on to fellows, residents, and students. Guidance is contextualized to the contributor’s surgical field and facility or hospital, and chapters cover injuries (including sports injuries), deformities, chronic conditions, and more. A concise package of hints for surgical success! First volume in a new series focused on frequently untold nuggets of advice from practicing surgeons in various specializations. Each chapter covers key procedural topics like patient positioning, instruments and equipment, technical procedures, complications, and post-operative care. Written by fellows and veteran surgeons at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the nation’s oldest orthopedic hospital, routinely ranked #1 for orthopedics. Ideal for fellows, reTrade ReviewThis volume in the Illustrated Tips and Tricks orthopedics series focuses on the foot and ankle. It is very much a hands-on approach manual and provides a no-nonsense approach to each topic. It includes access to an electronic format as well. This book is designed to provide readers with the benefit of the experiences and wisdom of the primary authors. It is, truly, a compendium of their shared and personal experiences in a broad array of foot and ankle procedures. The electronic version aids in accessibility, since this is physically a big book and not readily portable. The intended audience is practicing surgeons, as well as residents and fellows, primarily in the fields of orthopedics and podiatry. Given the book's premise and presentation, it meets these objectives. The authors are well known and respected in their field. Of the slightly more than 30 contributors, nearly half are residents in various levels of training in orthopedic surgery and their relative expertise is not known. The book is arranged into 30 chapters covering selected forefoot conditions, flatfoot and cavus foot deformities, ankle arthritis, tendon disorders, and foot and ankle trauma. Each chapter gets straight down to the practicalities of the performing the procedures. Indications for the most part are not discussed. Each procedure starts with a bullet-pointed instrument list, positioning, and a description of the procedure. Surgical tips and pearls are highlighted where relevant. Each chapter is well illustrated with excellent use of color plates, line drawings, and diagnostic imaging where relevant. This book is of excellent quality and will be most useful to those whose primary focus is foot and ankle surgery as well as those who encounter foot and ankle pathology as part of more a general musculoskeletal practice. While many are reference tomes, which this book does not compete with, its nearest rival would be Foot and Ankle Surgery: Tricks of the Trade, Raikin (Thieme, 2018). It is slightly different in format, but it offers an individual perspective with tips and pearls. It will have its devotees nonetheless and is slightly more practical in how it handles each topic.

Book SynopsisSuitable for clinicians involved in the care and treatment of patients with back pain, this title presents a synthesis of the advanced research findings and explains its changes in emphasis - from trying to understand and reverse age-related spinal degeneration to addressing the soft tissue causes of pain.Trade ReviewReview quotes from previous editions This book is an excellent addition to the literature on back pain. Biomechanics is fundamental to understanding the physical basis of back pain, but many biomechanical textbooks are very technical and difficult for the non-specialist. What is new and different about this book is that it presents complex ideas very simply and clearly, and applies them to the clinical situation. This volume is to be highly recommended to all doctors and therapists who deal with patients with back pain. Professor Gordon Waddell DSc, MD, FRCS Orthopaedic Surgeon, Glasgow [Amazon] This excellent book presents in one location a synthesis of much of the recent literature on the mechanical factors contributing to low back pain. The logic of the text is easy to follow and each chapter builds upon concepts and ideas presented in earlier chapters. I can think of few books to compare to it and I recommend it highly. Dana J Lawrence, DC, MMedEd, MA(Palmer College of Chiropractic) It is refreshing to see a book that interprets and integrates the literature instead of simply repeating studies. W.S. Marras, Biodynamics Laboratory, Ohio State University The book is one of the most evidence-based books on the market. The authors are research active and always updating their knowledge. Principal Lecturer in Physiotherapy, University of Cumbria "The final remarks of the authors include-'There is good evidence that the psychosocial characteristics of many patients with chronic back pain are not the underlying cause of the problem; rather they are a response to vague diagnosis,ineffective treatment and a "compensation culture”.' As more than half the content of this book is of direct relevance to OH professionals, I have no hesitation in recommending that it has a place on our bookshelves."

Book SynopsisTrade Review"The overall excellence of this text is slightly diminished by the colorization of some bone images that, in some instances, reduce the osteological and anatomical details. While the second edition uses color photography throughout, which certainly enhances the look of the text, the color variation both within and between some bone photos can be distracting to the reader. As successful practitioners, the authors recognize that over the last decade the field of forensic anthropology has undergone considerable transformation, and they note it is a “constantly evolving science.” In this environment, to develop a foundational understanding of the field students require “a comprehensive introductory text that approaches forensic anthropology as a modern discipline, with attention to theory as well as recent advances in research, technology, and challenges in the field.” The second edition of Forensic Anthropology: Current Methods and Practice is a text that not only fills this need but exceeds it, and should be considered by all instructors as the ideal introductory text." --Forensic Anthropology "Overall, I think that the text is excellent, very complete. I am encouraged to see that it contextualizes what forensic anthropologists do, with concentration on standards, ethics, and other themes that some might consider to be peripheral, but which are, I think, critical subjects for budding young anthropologists (and all scientists). In this, the text is a big improvement over other, similar texts on the market. I believe that the authors very accurately express the potential and limitations of the discipline." --Derek Congram "Forensic Anthropology (2nd edition) ... is comprehensive, providing its reader with a solid foundation in all areas of forensic anthropology, including its history, application, and methods. It covers forensic archaeology, processing, laboratory procedures and analyses, and legal implications. I can’t think of a single subject matter I’d plan on teaching in an Intro to Forensic Anthropology course that was not covered in the text. This is a textbook written by experts in the field and it shows." --Heather Garvin "Overall, book is well written with excellent examples and I am looking forward to using it in my Forensic Anthropology classes! The book includes the most up to date research and is useful for both practitioners and students in the discipline." --Alexandra KlalesTable of Contents1. Introduction to forensic anthropology 2. Human osteology and odontology 3. Skeletal examination and documentation methods 4. Medicolegal significance 5. Forensic taphonomy 6. Forensic archaeology and scene processing methods 7.
