Inhaltsangabe

The original AO/ASIF Instrumentation manual presented a concise and complete description of the AO instruments. Thoughtfully developed by Fridolin Sequin and Rigmor Tex- hammar, the manual discussed in a clear fashion the purpose and care of the various AO instruments that are handled by the operating room staff. One important feature of the first edition was a detailed checklist of the instruments required for the more common operative procedures for treating fractures. Fridolin Sequin was well-suited to author the first edition: his 15 years of experience as a technical engineer for the AO gave him in-depth knowledge of AO instruments, and he drew on the clinical knowledge of Rigmor Texhammar, a consultant and di- rector of the AO courses for nurses. Its original feature of com- bining a column of text with a column of illustrations meant the manual quickly became accepted as a standard. By 1981, trans- lations could be found in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Not surprisingly, the manual was very popular.

Reseña del editor

The evolution of AO/ASIF instruments and implants and the introduction of new techniques of application in traumatology and orthopaedics has made it necessary to update the previous instrumentation manual. This completely revised new edition describes the entire range of AO/ASIF instrumentation, except for that used in spinal and maxillofacial surgery. Numerous figures accompany the text, illustrating both the individual instruments and implants and their handling and application. The book is thus a valuable supplement to the Manual of Internal Fixation and the Internal Fixation of Small Fractures, and can be used as a reference by all the members of the surgical team once the decision has been made to perform an AO skeletal stabilisation. An introductory chapter on the basic AO technique will familiarise the reader with some new considerations regarding fracture care. And a chapter describing some operative procedures has been included to guide the operating room team in understanding the tactics
