      abstract = {Safety is a paramount factor in orthopaedics, whether the  patient is being treated conservatively or surgically.  Although vast advances have been made in the instruments,  implants, and techniques of orthopaedic surgery,  considerable complications continue to occur. Iatrogenic  injuries during surgery can cause significant morbidity and  even mortality. To avoid neurovascular and other serious  complications, the orthopaedic surgeon must have both a  deep understanding of anatomy that can be drawn on in the  operating room and exceptional technical skills. The goal  of treatment of limb fractures is to restore limb length  and anatomic articular surface alignment and rotation, as  well as to create adequate fixation for early mobilization  of the associated joint with minimal complications. Safe  Orthopaedic Surgery includes facts about applied anatomy  and surgical techniques aimed at preventing neurovascular  complications in various approaches to the specific bones  and joints, including the clavicle, shoulder, humerus,  elbow, forearm, wrist and hand, spine, hip, femur, knee,  leg, and ankle and foot. Both conventional and minimally  invasive techniques are considered. The prevention of  surgical site infections and current thinking on antibiotic  therapy in orthopaedic surgery are also covered. Organized  into 13 chapters with a standard format, up-to-date  references, and to-the-point, bulleted presentation for  easy review, Safe Orthopaedic Surgery offers vital  information on performing operations safely and  precisely--the safety principles that are invaluable to  every orthopaedic surgeon.},
