Beside importance which this book had when published, in the war time, experiences which I incorporated into are relevant for the injuries in peace-time as well. This makes me to believe that importance and applicability of this book reaches beyond time and space of its creation.The main intention of this book was to fill in the gap in our literature on orthopedic surgery as well as to offer a comprehensive knowledge to junior colleagues in the field of bone defect management in both war- and peacetime wound.
