Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction [electronic resource] / edited by Konrad Mader, Selvadurai Nayagam.

Strategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which is dedicated to surgeons, allied medical professionals and researchers in the field of orthopaedics and trauma. The scope of the journal is to discuss the fields of skeletal injury, and the complications thereof, congenital and acquired limb deformities and deficiencies, and orthopaedic-related infection, together with their surgical and non-surgical treatments. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, case reports, descriptions of new or recognised treatment techniques, forum discussions of clinical scenarios and relevant correspondence. It aims to provide a widely accessible source of useful information to practitioners in the field through the problem- or technique-based approach of published articles. It will serve as a portal for dissemination of detailed descriptions of decision and surgical pathways, operative technique, and pre- and post-operative strategies to improve patients’ care. Its availability online at http://www.springerlink.com makes it a convenient source for continuing medical education.
