This textbook for medical students include an overview of essential information on etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and treatment of developmental and acquired orthopedic diseases and disorders, including musculoskeletal injuries. It also includes an overview of essential conservative and surgical procedures used in orthopedics and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system in adult and child patients. We believe that this textbook can help students from medical Universities as a tool for quick and easy reference to a range of orthopedic diseases and injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
