Skeletal Trauma, 6th Edition, is an orthopaedic textbook authored by Bruce D. Browner, Jesse B. Jupiter, Christian Krettek, and Paul A. Anderson. The volume delivers clinical and scientific guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries.

The text addresses fracture biomechanics, the biology of skeletal repair, and foundational principles of both internal and external fixation. Core thematic areas span damage control orthopaedics, polytrauma evaluation, open fractures, and complex spine trauma.

Designed for orthopaedic surgeons, traumatologists, residents, fellows, and emergency physicians, the publication incorporates dedicated guidance on mass casualty incidents and war injuries, integrating contributions from active duty military surgeons and civilian physicians.
