Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"It is a slim volume (170 pages) from the Springer stable and, as one would expect, is beautifully put together. The line drawings are perfect, the radiographs very well produced and the intra-operative images, which are often difficult to obtain, are also good." (M. Barry, The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 87B (5), 2005)
