Just launched—“Techniques and Principles for the Operating Room” by Matthew Porteous and Susanne Bäuerle

This completely new book, Techniques and Principles for the Operating Room, is a valuable tool for the operating room personnel and for residents starting their careers in orthopaedic trauma care. The book is divided into three sections: (1) operating room principles which cover the different aspects of operating room management for ORP; (2) the AO Principles of fracture management; and (3) a detailed guide to performing certain common procedures with an emphasis on the use of the surgical instruments.
