Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery (includes full video package)

📚 Overview

This three‑edition, multi‑volume textbook is a comprehensive, authoritative reference covering the full spectrum of orthopaedic surgical procedures. 
It focuses on the mastery of operative techniques while also offering guidance on how to select the optimal procedure, avoid pitfalls, and anticipate outcomes.
With contributions from over 1,000 experts and more than 13,000 full‑colour intraoperative photos and drawings, it is designed as a go‑to resource for residents, fellows and practicing surgeons.

🔑 Key Features

• Covers virtually every orthopaedic procedure across subspecialties including sports medicine, pediatrics, spine, oncology and trauma.

• Step‑by‑step operative technique descriptions following a consistent chapter format: definition → anatomy → physical exam → imaging → non‑operative management → surgical management → postoperative care → outcomes/complications.

• Lavish visual support: over 13,000 full‑colour intraoperative photographs and labelled illustrations to guide technique.

• Comes with a video package and eBook access for mobile/online reference.

• Massive in scope: thousands of pages across multiple volumes (e.g., around 6,500+ pages) making it one of the most comprehensive texts in orthopaedic surgery.

✅ Key Benefits

• Acts as a definitive operative reference for orthopaedic surgeons, offering deep technical detail and procedural guidance.

• Highly practical and procedural: the format and visuals make it suitable for pre‑operative planning, intraoperative reference, or post‑operative review.

• Keeps readers up to date with current surgical techniques, including newer procedures and updates across orthopaedic subspecialties.

• Valuable for training and education: ideal for residents, fellows, and institutions needing a high‑level resource.

• Provides multipronged learning tools: visuals, videos, eBook — enhancing accessibility and study flexibility.

🎯 Ideal For

• Orthopaedic surgeons seeking an all‑in‑one reference for operative techniques.

• Residents, fellows, and surgical trainees in orthopaedic programs preparing for practical and operative competency.

• Academic medical centres, surgical libraries, and programs in orthopaedics wanting a flagship text.

• Specialists in trauma, sports medicine, oncology, pediatrics, spine and general orthopaedics who wish to deepen their operative technique knowledge.

• Less ideal for those seeking a quick overview or light‑reading text — this is a heavy, highly technical multi‑volume work.

If you are looking for a comprehensive surgical techniques atlas in orthopaedics, this text is among the most thorough available. It pairs extremely well with other specialty texts (for example foot & ankle or upper extremity surgery) to round out a surgical library. Given your interest in medical education resources, this one is particularly suited for advanced learning or reference use.
