Each chapter contains text dealing with anatomy for the body part and text explaining how traumatic injuries and their complications are treated. Types of injuries covered include fractures, dislocations, brain injuries, intervertebral disc lesions, sprains and strains, vascular injuries, peripheral nerve injuries, burns and superficial injuries to name just some. Also included is an explanation of each of the treatment procedures, to help you to better understand the type and nature of medical procedures you are likely to encounter in the treatment and management of traumatic injuries.
Guides are also available to help you select an appropriate injury or procedure code.
The libraries also contain a comprehensive medical dictionary of terms you are likely to encounter in dealing with personal injury claims.
