Synopsis

Orthopaedics for Primary Health Care Volume 2

Most patients with orthopaedic pathology in low- to middle-income countries are treated by non-specialists. A curriculum to prepare undergraduate medical students for this duty should reflect the local pathology and skills that are required to manage patients in a resource-restricted environment. The chapters in this book were written by orthopaedic consultants, clinicians and medical students who have experience with local orthopaedic pathology and treatment modalities, as well as in medical education of undergraduate students and primary care physicians. This volume is the second in the Orthopaedics for Primary Health Care series. Volume 1, Orthopaedics for Primary Health Care: Principles of Orthopaedic Emergencies and Trauma, was published in 2021 and is available at https://doi.org/10.15641/0-7992-2550-1.
