Opis

This book fills a gap in providing specialist information on orthopaedics and trauma occupational therapy. Its contributors bring together information on the aetiology, surgical input and the occupational therapy intervention appropriate to this client group. It is divided into two main sections, the first being orthopaedics and the second orthopaedic trauma. The first part is further subdivided to cover lower limb surgery, upper limb surgery, spinal conditions, and paediatric orthopaedic conditions. In Part two, principles of fracture management are covered, followed by pelvic and acetabular reconstruction, hand injuries and traumatic amputation.

Occupational Therapy in Orthopaedics and Trauma is a practical, evidence–based resource for professionals working with this specific client group. Written by a team of expert and specialist contributors, the book is divided into two sections, Orthopaedics and Trauma, for ease of reference. The book covers the treatment and management of musculoskeletal trauma and orthopaedic conditions most commonly encountered in everyday practice. Chapters link the relevant anatomy and aetiology to medical and surgical management and clearly explain the application of occupational therapy theory and practice.
