James H. Beaty, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (Aaos)

The 59 chapters in volume 51 of this series have been selected from the instructional courses presented at the 2001 AAOS annual meeting held in San Francisco, California. The instructional courses are the most popular and important educational offering at the annual meeting, providing orthopaedic surgeons with useful information that should benefit patient care. The volumes in this series are intended to give the reader the important benefit of “”taking home”” the annual meeting.
