Handbook of Orthopaedic Trauma Implantology

Abstract

Orthopaedic implantology is a vastly changing subject. Orthopaedic surgeons face varying demands in patient care and varying patterns and combinations of fractures, all changing based on behavioural and activity changes of the population. In this chapter, we discuss the drivers of this change in order to enable the surgeon to choose the best implants.
