Leading healthcare publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) announced the publication of Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery, a new, four-volume reference that provides start-to-finish guidance for virtually every contemporary orthopaedic surgery technique. LWW is part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading provider of information and business intelligence for students, professionals, and pharmacy.

The long-awaited reference is edited by Sam W. Wiesel MD, Orthopaedic Surgeon-in-Chief at Georgetown University Hospital, and a team of thirteen section editors, with over 800 contributors from leading institutions around the world. The editors and contributors are all authorities in their orthopaedic subspecialties and experts in the surgical techniques they describe.

Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery features 12,500 original photographs and illustrations, including 8,000 full color images. Each surgical technique is described in step-by-step detail and covers preoperative planning, equipment and anesthesia, surgical techniques, potential complications, and expected results. The text incorporates evidence-based medicine whenever possible.

The four-volume set presents surgical techniques for adult reconstruction; foot and ankle; hand, wrist, and forearm; oncology; pediatrics; pelvis and lower extremity trauma; shoulder and elbow; sports medicine; and spine.

A companion Website offers fully searchable access to the complete content of the four-volume reference at no extra charge.
