This book is a step-by-step, thoroughly illustrated guide to external fracture fixation techniques using the JET-X(R) system, featuring full freedom clamps. Chapters written by leading orthopaedic trauma surgeons describe the use of these techniques for femoral shaft fractures, supracondylar femur fractures, tibial plateau fractures, tibia fractures, pilon fractures, pelvic fractures, distal radius fractures, supracondylar elbow fractures, and humeral shaft fractures. More than 175 full-color illustrations demonstrate the techniques.
