The possible complications of surgery,especially ectopic bone formation, and the way to preventand deal with them are fully covered.A detailed account is given of the long-term results (3-30years post-injury) in 569 cases operated on within 21 daysof injury, 157 operated on at between 3 weeks and 4 months,and 91 cases in which operative reconstruction was delayedstill longer.A self-trainingchapter on the interpretation of radiographscompletes the book.This second edition of "Fractures of the Acetabulum" hasbeen greatly expanded from the first, with comprehensivecoverage of two- and three-dimensional CTscanning, many newdetails on surgical approaches and techniques, and a fullanalysis of the results of surgical treatment of 869operated casesfrom among the 940 cases (updated from 469 inthe first edition) included inthe book: the largest seriesever published of acetabular fractures operatedupon by thesame surgeon.Dr. Letournel considers that a trauma surgeon facing anacetabular fracture has to be able to answer one question:Does this fracture need surgical treatment or not?To answer that question the surgeon has to:1.
