The result of a collaboration between biomechanists, surgeons, and educators, Ortho is the reference guide for orthopedic trauma management. Written in French and enriched with 240 illustrations and information rarely compiled in a single volume, it covers the psychological and physical preparation of the patient, the three key stages — topographic analysis of the lesion, surgical procedure, and postoperative monitoring — as well as the principles of soft tissue and osteoarticular surgery, region by region, including associated complications.

Intended for nurses, nursing students, emergency physicians, surgical staff, physiotherapists, radiologic technologists, radiologists, podiatrists, and orthopedic shoemakers, it offers a clear and practical synthesis of essential knowledge for all healthcare professionals involved in orthopedics.

What the book covers

After general principles, the book follows the surgical patient’s journey: hygiene, patient preparation, post-operative care and monitoring, clinical and radiological signs, imaging. It then sets out the principles of orthopaedic surgery, amputations, soft-tissue surgery, capsule, ligament and tendon conditions, skin conditions and dressings, bone and joint surgery and its complications, followed by a region-by-region approach.
