Manual of Internal Fixation

The Manual of INTERNAL FIXATION is well known internationally as a standard work for every specialist dealing with osteosynthesis. Due to the many changes that have taken place, an international faculty of orthopaedic surgeons and traumatologists completely revised and expanded the manual. In its third edition the manual reflects the state of the art and is the necessary reference for every AO specialist.
