AO/ASIF Instruments and Implants : A Technical Manual Paperback / softback
by Rigmor Texhammar, Christopher Colton
Paperback / softback
Description
The original AO/ASIF Instrumentation manual presented a concise and complete description of the AO instruments.
Thoughtfully developed by Fridolin Sequin and Rigmor Tex hammar, the manual discussed in a clear fashion the purpose and care of the various AO instruments that are handled by the operating room staff.
One important feature of the first edition was a detailed checklist of the instruments required for the more common operative procedures for treating fractures.
Fridolin Sequin was well-suited to author the first edition: his 15 years of experience as a technical engineer for the AO gave him in-depth knowledge of AO instruments, and he drew on the clinical knowledge of Rigmor Texhammar, a consultant and di rector of the AO courses for nurses.
Its original feature of com bining a column of text with a column of illustrations meant the manual quickly became accepted as a standard.
By 1981, trans lations could be found in English, French, Spanish, and Italian.
Not surprisingly, the manual was very popular.
