For all surgeons treating the polytraumatized patient, this text bridges the gap between the general surgical management of the associated injuries and the management of the musculoskeletal injuries by simultaneous treatment of both, and also the gap between the proponents of closed and open methods of management of both the pelvic ring and acetabular fracture. Most of this second edition (first was 1984) is completely rewritten to reflect the current general wisdom, and includes new drawings and new case examples including newer imaging techniques.
