This volume of our Orthopaedic Surgery Essentials Series presents all the
information residents need during orthopaedic oncology rotations and the
essential basic science needed for board preparation, clinical practice, and
orthopaedic research, including molecular and cellular biology, growth and
development, the genetic basis of musculoskeletal disorders, biomaterials and
biologic response to orthopaedic implants, and neoplastic disorders. The book
can easily be read cover to cover during a rotation or used for rapid review
before boards or quick reference in clinical practice. The user-friendly,
visually stimulating format features numerous tables and ample illustrations,
including color plates showing tumor histopathology.
