During the preparation and publishing of the first two volumes of our textbook, entitled Practice of Intramedullary Locked Nails, the editorial team took into account the most recent and then cur- rent technical evolutions in the treatment of long bone fractures. Progress, technical advances, and new concepts in bone biology and fracture healing were, as a result, included in some chap- ters. That is why Volume 2 was entitled Advanced Techniques and Special Applications at the time of its publication. Nevertheless, it was felt that this second volume was only a first step in presenting the new techniques and scientific information as- sociated with the biological, biomechanical, in- strumentation and technical improvements asso-
ciated with intramedullary nailing that were then just beginning to be introduced.
The goal of this third volume is to chronicle and present in more details this perpetual evolu- tion. Numerous renowned authors with diverse specialisations kindly helped us to finalise this volume. Our special gratitude goes to all authors, as well as to the staff of the Association Interna- tionale pour l'Ostosynth se Dynamique (AIOD) and of the publishing house, Springer-Verlag, with particular recognition of Mrs. Margot Hamm from the AIOD, and Mrs. Gabriele Schroeder from Springer-Verlag.
