    Summary: "Orthopaedic trauma spans the full spectrum of injury, from simple fractures to life-threatening accidents with multiple broken bones. As such, these incidents are a common reason patients visit emergency departments and receive treatment from orthopaedic surgeons. Synopsis of Orthopaedic Trauma Management by nationally recognized experts Brian Mullis, Greg Gaski, and esteemed contributors fills a gap in the literature by providing a concise yet comprehensive reference for evaluating these conditions and initiating immediate treatment. The text provides a well-rounded perspective on the surgical and nonsurgical management of trauma in adult and pediatric patients. The opening section lays a solid foundation, with chapters covering physiology, open and closed fracture management, imaging, biomechanics, complications, and other core topics. Subsequent chapters address a full compendium of orthopaedic procedures to treat traumatic conditions of the upper and lower extremities, pelvis, and spine. Key Features Bulleted format provides quick and authoritative navigation of essential information needed for effective treatment A wealth of high-quality illustrations, radiographic images, and tables supplement concise text Uniformly organized chapters include up-to-date, clinically relevant statistics and suggestions for further reading Videos by renowned experts enhance understanding of specific fractures and orthopaedic surgery approaches This is a must-have resource for providers who treat orthopaedic trauma patients, including general and orthopaedic surgeons, residents, ER physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, medical students, and others on call.

    Small silicone rubber tubes containing a standard size viscose cellulose sponge (Cellstic) were implanted in wounds of ten children at the end of surgery. The Cellstics were drawn out of the wound 24--120 hours after implantation and the cellulose sponges were sectioned and studied for collagen types. Immunologically detectable Type III collagen and procollagen was detected in the sponges 24--48 hours after implantation whereas Type I collagen was not found at that time. From hour 72 onwards a substantial increase in Type I collagen was noted, while the relatively low levels of Type I procollagen remained unchanged. The levels of Type III collagen and procollagen increased only slightly. Primary cultures from 9-day-old granulation tissue synthesized preferentially Type I collagen, on the basis of chromatographic analysis. We conclude that Type III collagen is produced at the earliest phases of wound healing by primitive mesenchymal cells followed by the production of Type I collagen after the appearance of mature wound fibroblasts.
