This book is a wide-ranging exploration of the field of orthopaedic surgery, illuminating the many changes and developments over the past hundred years, examining the current trends towards fragmentation and specialization, and also reflecting on what the future may hold.

A wide range of ideas is examined, including hip and knee replacement, arthoscopy and arthoscopic surgery, management of fractures, biomechanics, biomaterials and imaging. There is a section on the implant industry, which has developed rapidly with the progress in joint replacements, demonstrating the increasing importance of technology. Many of the contributors have made a significant contribution to the progress of their specialty.

This book is a must for orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and anyone else involved in treating musculo-skeletal disorders as well as those with an interest in the history of medicine.
