This new SEOS topic offers a convenient, single-source review of alternate surgical exposures to the pelvis, including anatomic landmarks, potential pitfalls, and instrumentation. Designed for orthopaedic surgeons in trauma care, this DVD-video includes more than 1 hours of full-screen demonstrations, expert commentary, self-assessment, and references.
The program covers:

Ilioinguinal approach
Iliofemoral approach
Pfannenstiel approach to the pubic symphysis
Posterior approach to the sacrum
Posterior approach to the lateral ilium, greater sciatic notch, and sacroiliac joint
Kocher-Langenbeck approach
Extended iliofemoral approach
