A Guide to Canine and Feline Orthopaedic Surgery 4th Edition PDF
By Hamish Denny and Steve Butterworth
A Guide to Canine and Feline Orthopaedic Surgery PDF. It’s first published in 1980 and now in its fourth edition, provides an authoritative guide for busy practitioners trying to keep pace with current trends in small animal orthopaedic surgery. In this new edition Hamish Denny and Steven Butterworth have retained the same practical approach but have completely rewritten and updated the book to provide a comprehensive review of orthopaedic and spinal conditions in the dog and cat. The illustrations have also undergone a major overhaul and the many line drawings are now combined with photographs and radiographs to clarify diagnostic and surgical techniques.
Although the size of the book has increased, its regional approach to problems still enables the reader to use it as a rapid reference guide. It will prove an invaluable source of information for veterinary practitioners diagnosing and treating orthopaedic and spinal problems, while postgraduate students taking further qualifications in orthopaedics will find a sound basis for their studies and further reading provided here.
Provides a comprehensive review of orthopaedic spinal problems in the dog and cat.
Revised and restructured throughout to include the latest surgical techniques.
100 new photographs included.
