The book briefly gives the background and history of this surgical method, some basic principles in its application and its benefits, but the heart of the book is the set of surgical procedures for each classification of fracture or bone disease and as such, results in a detailed How-To step-by-step resource guide which can be quickly learned by the physician.

Dr. Savchenko's impetus for writing this book is that there has been no prior comprehensive exposition of this medical method, although there are works describing the life and theories of Dr. Gabriel Ilizarov, the creator of the method. These procedures were developed by the author, Dr. Savchenko, during his twelve years of trauma surgery at the Ilizarov Center, and provide a better approach to the conventional methods of treating injured limbs.

Benefits to audience

The conventional treatment of bone fractures and bone diseases now has a new, alternative treatment method. Used primarily in Russia, it is offered at few other locations. Whereas conventional methods of treatment can be expensive, painful, risky and lengthy, this new approach offers physicians the ability to provide treatment that can be done quickly, with less pain and less anaesthesia, and with improved anatomical/physiological results, all at less expense.

Reviews for The Method of Through-Bone Osteosynthesis in Trauma Care and Orthopedics

I have thoroughly read Nikolay Savchenko's monograph entitled The Method of Through-Bone Osteosynthesis in Trauma Care and Orthopedics . The uniqueness in the text lies in the clarity of the illustration of these techniques and the defined step-wise application of these methods. These descriptions run the full gamut from the basic to the complex. This monograph is unusual for an orthopaedic text as it is both entertaining and instructive. There are excellent case illustrations interspersed with anecdotal information. The monograph provides insight into how these methods are utilized at high volume level 1 trauma centers. The author is to be complimented and congratulated for this innovative work, which will certainly find a large audience and be meaningful in various ways to orthopaedic trauma surgeons. - Christopher LeBrun, M.
