External Fixation in Orthopedic Traumatology

From the reviews:

“This is an outstanding textbook about the use of the C clamp, and other external fixators for fracture management of the pelvis, upper and lower extremities, and including the wrist and hand bones. … This is a perfect text for orthopaedic surgeons and residents.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)

Dr David Seligson took orthopaedic residency training in the Harvard Combined Program and became interested in medullary nailing of fractures after military service in Vietnam.  In his first faculty position at the University of Vermont, he introduced reamed intramedullary fixation into clinical practice.  As a Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of Louisville, he has collaborated with the members of the Kuntscher Society for Intramedullary Nailing and subsequently became its president for many years.  He also received the 2026 distinguished service citation from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
