Fractures of the Pelvis and Acetabulum The fourth edition of this well-known and highly regarded book by Marvin Tile et al. is now a two-volume set of books based on the AO principles of operative management of fractures, as applied to the pelvis and acetabulum. With the collaboration of over 80 international expert surgeons and through hundreds of images and illustrations, each volume emphasizes decision making based on the assessment of the personality of the injury through the patients history, physical examination, and interpretation of radiographic investigations. Access to video presentations demonstrating surgical approaches and reduction techniques performed by world-renowned experts is included.

By the time of the second edition in 1995, this field had come of age, and by the third edition in 2003, it had become a mature subspecialty of orthopaedic traumatology. This new fourth edition was deemed necessary because of significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, primarily using new technology. This new fourth edition is published by AOTrauma. Almost all the chapters have been extensively rewritten. All the chapter authors, including the new ones, are internationally renowned and all have made substantial contributions to our pelvic knowledge base. The section on minimally invasive techniques using image guidance has also been expanded.

Fractures of the Pelvis and Acetabulum The drawings have been skillfully redone, and many new cases added. Also included are new in-depth videos of surgical approaches and reduction and fixation techniques by world renowned experts. The chapters on outcomes of care have been rewritten and include an extensive bibliography. The editors believed that with all the updated materials, the expanded edition should be divided into two volumes. Dr Mark Vrahas has joined with Dr James Kellam as coeditors of volume 1, Pelvis, and Dr David Helfet has remained as editor of volume 2, Acetabulum.
