    Things To Read: A. Trauma: Fractures and Dislocations

    Uploaded by

    Hanien Yee
    The document outlines various orthopedic conditions organized into three sections: trauma, general orthopedics, and regional orthopedics. Trauma addresses fractures and dislocations of different bones including the spine, pelvis, femur, and ankle. General orthopedics discusses osteoarthritis, joint replacement, pediatric conditions like scoliosis and Perthes disease, and bone tumors. Regional orthopedics covers localized musculoskeletal issues for the hand/wrist, elbow, shoulder, spine, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Common injuries and diseases addressed for each body region include carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, plantar fasciitis, and diabetic foot ulcers
