Orthopedics refers to a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues that provide structure, support and movement to the body. These include fractures, sprains, strains, dislocations, sports injuries, arthritis, spine disorders, deformities, and trauma-related injuries. Orthopedics utilizes both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat these conditions, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Prominent non-surgical treatments in orthopedics include physical therapy, medication management, immobilization with casts or braces, joint injections, and rehabilitation programs. Surgical interventions can range from minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopy, to major and complicated surgeries, such as joint replacements or spinal fusion. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of orthopedics. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

Tom Dawson is a man with many experiences, stories, thoughts, and insights. He polishes and hones his contemplations during his treatments of lymphoma, making the atrium of his healthcare center his office. The latent time he spends during these treatments is fertilizer for his focus, clarity of thought, and his ultimate priorities, which are made clear by the perspective a life-threatening illness can offer. Pieces is a blend of long and short stories. The entries are imaginative and inventive. The book's snippets are easy to read due to their varied length. The real beauty of this book is that you can pick it up, get into it, read, and consider; then you can put it down, go about your day with seeds of meaningful thought growing into opinions and beliefs inside your soul. But Pieces is more than simply thought provoking. Dawson hopes to inspire readers. To make them ponder. To draw out wonder. To encourage the examined life from a variety of perspectives. This is his goal. His tools? Informative, relevant, and humorous multi-layered truths. In Pieces, Dawson lets us in on a life of lessons, hard-won and wise. The book is a collection of Dawson's writings and drawings that can be found in his first book, Cottonwood, and on his website. Sometimes it helps to look at the big picture when you overemphasized the details of life, often to the point of stress and worry. If you are looking to step back, take a breath, and put it all into perspective, read Pieces. It will come together in the end.

For Tom Dawson and Sam Wilson, life in the northwestern Colorado town of Cottonwood Springs proceeds without any profound awareness or deep concern for a final objective, and certainly with no sense that their personal journeys are destined to deliver them to a strange-sounding town in Mexico known as the City of the Dead. Best friends who served together in Vietnam, the recently widowed Tom and divorced Sam now inhabit each other's life in a ritual of familiar habits and shared history. Tom, a writer since his days as a combat correspondent, tends to nod and observe, while Sam, a Nighthawk who flew in Huey gunships, continues to be in the thick of things, carrying on about conspiracies, dropping culture references, and offering his interpretation of quantum mechanics and karma. When Sam finds himself in a contentious property transaction, both men wind up with their lives turned on end, with each in his own way searching for answers and possible solutions that will provide some sense of closure and certainty. These goals, however, may prove only more elusive late in life and Tom and Sam are in store for adventures they never could have anticipated.
