Manual of Periprosthetic Fracture Management, under the editorship of Carsten Perka, Michael Schütz and Thomas P Rüedi brings together the latest global knowledge on periprosthetic fractures, including all relevant anatomical regions, surgical pitfalls, complex cases.

It also includes a comprehensive new “Unified Classification System, UCS” on periprosthetic fractures, combining the original Vancouver classification with the AO/OTA Fracture and Dislocation Classification. It is hoped this new classification system will become as recognized as the AO/OTA Fracture and Dislocation Classification and has been specifically developed to help trauma surgeons recognize and treat prosthetic related fractures.
