50 Studies Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Should Know

Kapil Sugand, PhD is a Trauma & Orthopaedic Specialist Trainee in London. He earned his PhD in trauma simulation, and his plethora of work has been featured in international media, conferences and journals. This will be his fifth book as Chief Editor. He also founded and chairs two organizations aiming to reduce the education gap and promote careers in STEM. Hani Abdul Jabar, MBBS graduated from Imperial College School of Medicine in 2004. He completed his training on the London Northwest Thames rotation and completed his lower limb fellowship at Guys Hospital Hip Unit. He was awarded the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) travelling fellowship to Toronto Canada, the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and a visiting fellowship to Pretoria South Africa. Dr. Abdul-Jabar has an interest in postgraduate education and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College. Konstantinos Doudoulakis, MSc is the expert illustrator for 50 Studies Every Orthopaedic Surgeon Should Know. He is a Senior Trauma & Orthopaedic Fellow at Imperial College London.
