Although termed “basic”, the subject is far from static but rather dynamic and constantly developing. Medicine as a whole is a constantly evolving, ever changing discipline. As orthopaedics increasingly becomes sub-specialised, the basic science platform is also broadening.
The reader will be able to immerse themselves in topics covering skeletal development & structure, Articular cartilage, cartilage injuries & repair, the growth plate, paediatric inherited neuromuscular disease, skeletal dysplasia, fracture healing, traction, bone grafting, radiology, osteoarthritis, joint replacement, joint biomechanics, tendon repair & transfer, clinical neurophysiology, bone & soft tissue tumours, microbiology of working in theatre, spinal development, deformity and disease, implant failure & analysis and much, much more.
