Preface

This Current Diagnosis and Treatment in Orthopedics is the Fourth Edition of the orthopedic surgery contribution to the Lange Current Series of books. It is surprising to realize that it has been 10 years since the first edition of this book. The goal of this book has not changed. It is intended to fill a need for a ready source of up-to-date information on disorders and diseases treated by orthopedic surgeons and related physicians. The format in this edition is unchanged from previous: there is emphasis on the major diagnostic features of disease states, the natural history of the disease where appropriate, the work-up required for definitive diagnosis, and, finally, definitive treatment. The book focuses on orthopedic conditions, de-emphasizing the treatment of the patient from a general medical viewpoint, except when it pertains to the orthopedic problem under consideration. Importantly, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and pathology are included when they assist in arriving at a definitive diagnosis or an understanding of the treatment of the diseases or condition. In many conditions, such as infection or neoplasm, it is extremely important to understand the pathophysiology because the disease may be encountered at various time points in the progression of the disease.

This edition of the Current Diagnosis and Treatment in Orthopedics is truly current.

The entire book has been updated in its references to include only those references since 2000, except in cases where classic articles are necessary to refer back to major advances in understanding or treatment, or in situations where there has been little change in the sub-specialization in orthopedics, such as rehabilitation. These selected references to the older literature represent landmarks in the advancement of the understanding of orthopedic diseases and conditions, and serve as useful sources of the fundamental basis for understanding these diseases and conditions.
