Difficult situations are inevitable in surgery—from errors in judgment and technical mistakes to unavoidable outcomes—and navigating them is a hallmark of a master surgeon. This inaugural sports medicine volume in the new Complications in Orthopaedic Surgery series offers real-world guidance on recognizing and avoiding errors, as well as how to “course-correct” during surgery. Series editor Dr. Stephen R. Thompson and Dr. Matthew Schmitz describe and demonstrate practical solutions integral to improving patient outcomes.
