ESSEX, England, February 21, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Around the world, men and women endure rigorous years of study to become surgeons. Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma (now available through AuthorHouse) by Godwin Iwegbu offers students a powerful tool that can enhance their knowledge in this field.
Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma is a concise text focusing on fractures and soft tissue injuries to the musculoskeletal system. Divided into five parts, it presents a reasonably detailed account of most orthopedic injuries.
"Parts I and II have been written with the special needs of the medical student and preregistration House Officer (qualified doctor who is completing internship) in mind," Iwegbu writes. "No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed, orthopaedic terms are explained in simple language and the text is generously illustrated."
The last three parts expand the audience to include orthopedic and general surgical residents. These sections contain detailed descriptions of individual injuries and include useful comments and arguments that future surgeons can use to prepare for postgraduate examinations.
Iwegbu presents this guide to injuries in a simple style that is easy to understand, and his thorough approach highlights the most important points on a wide range of topics. With detailed illustrations to enhance the text, Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma is a helpful guide to medical students and surgeons in training. In addition, occupational therapists, emergency room doctors, general practitioners, and orthopedic and general surgeons and nurses can also rely on this book for a quick and handy reference.
Iwegbu's medical education and experience began in Nigeria, continued in Russia and culminated in England. He is a Fellow of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as of the British Orthopaedic Association. He received a Master of Orthopaedic Surgery degree from the University of Liverpool, and his research extends to various areas in this field. Iwegbu has been widely published in respected medical journals. He has taught generations of medical students and trainees both in general and orthopedic surgery in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. He is currently a practicing orthopedic trauma surgeon at King George Hospital in Essex, England. Iwegbu is also an examiner of the Professional Linguistic and Assessments Board tests and a performance assessor in surgery with the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom.
