Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book.

Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the users own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. If errors in this work are found after publication, errata will be posted at www.thieme.com on the product description page.

Some of the product names, patents, and registered designs referred to in this book are in fact registered trademarks or proprietary names even though specific reference to this fact is not always made in the text. Therefore, the appearance of a name without designation as proprietary is not to be construed as a representation by the publisher that it is in the public domain.

This book, including all parts thereof, is legally protected by copyright.

To the many mentors and partners over the years who have inspired me to be a better surgeon, and to my loving wife, Lani, and kids, Hunter, Colton, and Taylor, who have inspired me to be a better man.

-Brian H. Mullis

To my loving wife Tricia for her unwavering support, my kids, Griffin and Scarlett who make every day better than the last, my mom and dad for making everything possible, my mentors that pushed me to always strive for excellence, and to the residents and fellows Ive had the privilege to train.

There are a number of reference materials available to orthopaedic surgeons which give extensive detail to the expert for specific musculoskeletal conditions; however, there are few easily accessible resources available for treatment of musculoskeletal trauma patients. This text has been written by leading experts in the field as a resource for the initial provider which might include but is not limited to a nurse, an emergency department physician, a general surgeon, an orthopaedic surgeon, a resident, a medical student, or an advanced provider. The book was written to serve as a quick reference to initiate immediate treatment and to help serve as a primer for definitive treatment and rehabilitation. A major emphasis has been placed on the inclusion of up-to-date clinically relevant information with intentional omission of traditional dogma.
