Instructional Course Lectures, Volume 53, which draws from lectures presented at the AAOS 2003 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, continues the tradition of providing current and relevant information across a broad spectrum of orthopaedic medicine and surgery. Topics include adult reconstruction, foot and ankle, spine, sports medicine, trauma, oncology, and pediatrics. A 5-year cumulative index is included. The lectures are one of the longest running and most widely recognized orthopaedic publications (published annually, with a few exceptions, since 1943), and are based on the AAOS Annual Meeting’s most popular clinical offering. Also included with ICL 53 is a DVD supplement with video excerpts from surgical procedures described in selected chapters of the book.
