Preface:

We orthopaedic surgeons face a challenging conundrum: we are driven to subspecialize because of rapid technologic advances and patients seeking very specifi c expertise, yet we must remain knowledgeable across the full spectrum of orthopaedics in order to deliver optimum patient care and pass certifying and recertifying examinations. We have many ways to learn: courses, textbooks, journals, weekly conferences—and now Webinars and Web-based surgical videos. Yet with all these different and evolving continuing education options, there remains a clear need for a single, rigorously peer-reviewed compendium of our entire specialty—a source that is comprehensive yet succinct, current yet founded on prior knowledge. For more than 20 years, the Orthopaedic Knowledge Update series has fi lled this role with great success. The writers, section editors, and I are very proud to bring you OKU 10. In many ways, this volume builds on and improves the outstanding previous editions. The Principles of Orthopaedics and Systemic Disorders sections give the reader a basic science and medical foundation, as well as synopsis chapters on essential issues of our practice: patient safety, communication skills, evidencebased medicine, and practice management. The remaining sections–Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, Spine, and Pediatrics– cover the injuries and conditions we treat, each with numerically cited references and an annotated reference list. One new addition: we have incorporated the AAOS Clinical Practice Guidelines wherever appropriate. In total, OKU 10 delivers the most up-to-date, concise summary of the standard of care for orthopaedics. “To whom much is given, much will be expected”: we have all benefi tted from many great surgeon-educators who trained us, and many clinical and basic science researchers who work to answer questions and advance our fi eld. In the spirit of giving back, OKU 10 represents the culmination of an enormous volunteer effort of over 2 years. More than 100 of your colleagues have given selfl essly of their time and talent to create this outstanding reference.
