Hemicallotasis is a procedure where the bone (usually upper tibia) is cut through half its width and then the two parts are pulled apart using an external fixator frame. This stimulates new bone to fill the gap, which can be angled to change the forces, usually to avoid pressure on a surface damaged by arthritis. (www.kneeguru.co.uk). This manual is a step by step guide to the process of Hemicallotasis. Beginning with an introduction to the procedure, the following chapters discuss preoperative planning, fixator application and postoperative protocols. A DVD is included illustrating the parts of the fixator and the application technique, as well as an audio-visual presentation to assist practitioners in helping osteoarthritis patients understand their condition and the hemicallotasis procedure.

This book is a comprehensive text in the field of quantum mechanics, covering fundamental concepts including the state of a quantum mechanical system, operators, superposition principle and measurement postulate. The notion of an operator and the algebra of operators are introduced with the help of elementary concepts of mathematical analysis. Mathematical tools developed will help readers in understanding the difficulties encountered in classical physics while trying to explain the experimental results involving atomic spectra and other phenomena. The differential equations that arise while solving eigenvalue problems are solved rigorously, to make the text self-sufficient. The solutions are then physically interpreted and explained. The text offers solved examples, analogous and homework problems to help students in solving practical problems of physics requiring quantum mechanical treatment.
