Preface

A Guide to Canine and Feline Orthopaedic Surgery was first published in 1980 as a rapid reference guide for veterinary students and busy

practitioners trying to keep pace with current trends in small animal orthopaedic surgery. Advances continue to be made in orthopaedics and the book has been regularly updated, the second edition was published in 1985 and the third

.in 1993. The fourth edition has been written by Hamish R. Denny and Steven J. Butterworth.This latest edition retains the same practical approach but has been completely rewritten to provide a comprehensive review of orthopaedic and spinal

conditions in the dog and cat. The illustrations have also undergone a major overhaul and the many line drawings are now combined with



photographs and radiographs to clarify diagnosis and surgical technique.

Although the size of the book has been con- siderably increased when compared with pre- vious editions, its regional approach to problems

should still enable the reader to use it as a rapid reference guide. The book should allow veteri- nary practitioners to diagnose and treat most orthopaedic and spinal problems encountered in general practice, while postgraduate students taking further qualifications in orthopaedics will find a sound basis for their studies and further

reading provided here. The authors gratefully acknowledge the help of

their colleagues both at Bristol University and in practice who have made this book possible.
