The textbooks that will be introduced at the conference include:

• Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, 13th edition (4-volume set) - by Frederick M. Azar,MD; James H. Beaty, MD; S. Terry Canale, MD
• Miller's Review of Orthopaedics, 7th edition - by Mark D. Miller, MD and Stephen R. Thompson, MD, MEd, FRCSC

In describing the latest edition of Miller's Review of Orthopaedics, Dr. Miller said, "Many new editions of established textbooks include only minor modifications or upgrades to previous editions. The seventh edition of Review of Orthopaedics is a complete and thorough revision of every chapter - more like a knockdown house that has been rebuilt or undergone a complete make-over."

To support Elsevier's presence at the AAOS conference, several "Meet the Author" events are scheduled to take place at the Elsevier booth (#1903) including:

• Dr. Mark Miller on Wednesday, March 2 nd at 10:30 am EST
• The Campbell's team on Thursday, March 3 rd at 3:00 pm EST
• Dr. Frank Noyes on Thursday, March 3 rd at 3:30 pm EST

"A number of new and exciting innovations in orthopedics have appeared since the last edition of Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics - such as out-patient total joint arthroplasty, new materials and designs in joint replacement and fracture fixation systems, approaches and equipment that allow for less invasive spine surgery. We are excited to share these with our readers," said Dr. Azar.

"The AAOS conference is the preeminent conference for orthopaedic surgeons, so it is fitting that Elsevier chose this venue to launch six of our newest textbooks on orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery," said Linda Belfus, Senior Vice President, Content, Elsevier Clinical Solutions. "We look forward to presenting the most up-to-date information and education on orthopaedics to attendees at this year's conference."
