The Double Dynamic Martin Screw (DMS) [electronic resource] : Adjustable Implant System for Proximal and Distal Femur Fractures /
Dittel, Karl-Klaus.editor.
Rapp, Matthias.editor.
The scope and importance of hip fractures is almost incomprehensible. With a world wide incidence of close to 2 million cases per year, theses fractures pose a daunting challenge to our ability to affect and treat this epidemic. Basics for operative treatment of proximal and distal femur fractures: Clear surgical indication Short planning and preparation Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [175]-177) and index.
