This concise pocket guide is the first of its kind to provide a solid foundation for those who are involved in academic orthopedic surgery education for medical students, residents, and faculty and program heads. Opening with an exploration of the history of orthopedic education in the United states as well as a sampling of international experiences, the book then describes curriculum design for competency-based education, teaching as coaching, and how to teach operative skills. A trio of chapters on working with residents covers the sometimes challenging areas of assessment, remediation and providing constructive feedback. Subsequent chapters detail the development of orthopedic faculty and elements of successful programs as well as tips for directors creating or maintaining a program.

While several books exist to guide educators in the non-surgical fields, none exist to provide guidance for surgical fields, much less orthopedic surgery. Ideal for any and all professionals involved in orthopedic education, The Orthopedic Educator serves to offer insight for making the most out of the time available for teaching, offering advice from experienced educators on how to build and maintain a successful program.

This book is designed to equip the reader with the knowledge and tools required for provision of individualized ACL treatment based on the best available evidence. All major aspects of the assessment of rotatory knee instability are addressed in depth. A historical overview of arthrometers, both invasive and non-invasive, is provided, and newly developed devices for the measurement of rotatory knee laxity are considered. Recent advances with respect to the pivot shift test are explained and evidence offered to support a standardized pivot shift test and non-invasive quantification of the pivot shift. Specific surgical techniques for rotatory laxity are described, with presentation of the experience from several world-renowned centers. In addition, functional rehabilitation and “return to play” are discussed. In keeping with the emphasis on an individualized approach, the book highlights individualization of surgical reconstruction techniques in accordance with the specific injury pattern and grade of rotatory knee laxity as well as the use of individualized rehabilitation techniques. Numerous high-quality images illustrate key points and clear take-home messages are provided.

“This is a comprehensive historical review in Orthopaedics related to both conservative and surgical treatments of extremity, spine, foot, & ankle pathologies. … Radiographs, charts, and line drawings illustrate the text well. … This is an excellent book for residents, fellows, orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and historians … . I give this book my highest rating amongst orthopaedics books.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, July, 2014)

The book categorizes articles by field of research to include studies on the hip and knee arthroplasty, sports medicine and arthroscopy, paediatric orthopaedics foot and ankle, spine, hand and upper extremity, trauma/fracture healing, oncology and basic science articles (stem cell, bone tissue, ligament, tendon tissue and implants).

Classic Papers in Orthopaedics assembles a distinguished team of contributors to identify, analyze and bring together in a single volume the most important articles from a broad range of publications that have become recognized as the defining articles in orthopaedics. It is a unique reference providing a single source for reviewing the most important papers in the discipline. It also provides a critical analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and the impact each paper has had on the development of orthopaedics and is therefore essential reading for all practicing orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic trainees sitting higher level exams, and all involved in research and clinical practice in the field of orthopaedics.
