Orthopaedic Surgery/Preface

	Preface
<<Contents		Introduction>>

This is the combined effort of numerous contributors, editors and other volunteers from the wikibook community to build a text book on Orthopaedic Surgery. The book is in its infantile stage at the moment (June 17, 2006) but we hope it will soon be in a readable state. As with any wiki system the book and its contents grow exponentially with the increase in number of people involved. The contents become relevant, authentic, and more acceptable to the intended audience. We hope to grow in that direction. Until then help us build this book. If you have anything to contribute, please feel free to do so.
