Based on instructional course material utilized by the University of Rochester's Division of Orthopedic Trauma, this concise manual provides a common-sense overview of common orthopedic emergencies that providers with minimal orthopedic training - medical students, non-orthopedic physicians, NPs and PAs - will need to evaluate and treat these cases. Often, a simple understanding of the injury and the priorities of management will allow the treating practitioner to provide appropriate immediate care with huge clinical benefit to the patient. More than a dozen orthopedic emergency situations are presented in an easily accessible format, from open fractures and joint dislocations to septic joint and compartment syndrome. Clinical cases are highlighted at the beginning of each chapter, which also include relevant questions related to the specific case and full color images. An ideal resource for medical students, non-orthopedic physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, Orthopedics in the Emergency Room is a practical guide to managing these intense situations. .

Utilizing detailed case presentations from experts in the field, this book presents common clinical scenarios involving patients who have sustained displaced femoral neck fractures, discussing the injury mechanism, early treatment, potential treatment options, risks and complications involved. The style of presentation, the ease of readability, the use of appropriate and relevant cases to highlight the learning points, and the discussion of the decision-making process are all unique features of the book's approach. Using this tailored process, the each topic is reviewed and the rationale for what appears to be the optimal treatment - hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement, for example - is provided to the reader, emphasizing that the ultimate decision requires the combination of science and judgment, both of which are continually evolving. Additional chapters present ongoing controversies in the management of these challenging fractures, as well as complications such as aseptic necrosis, symptomatic hardware and nonunions. Portable and concise, orthopedic and trauma surgeons, residents and fellows alike will find Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures a practical and user-friendly resource.
