Description
The scope of orthopedic knowledge has expanded to such a degree that it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a fundamental grasp of the required knowledge base. This is compounded by the time constraints on adult learning, with the student or practitioner faced with ever-increasing demands on their time. This text is a much needed resource of orthopedic knowledge, which will prove useful not only to those in training but also to those faced by the ever-increasing demands of certification and recertification examinations. Well illustrated and organized into eight chapters extending from basic science to every specialty of orthopedic surgery (such as hand, foot and ankle, sports medicine, and spine) and put forward in outline form, the reader will find it easy to locate information on a specific subject for direct patient care, conferences or rounds, or examination review. Alternatively, the organization of each chapter facilitates an overall review of the subject matter. By virtue of its succinct style of presentation, this text will prove exceedingly useful to students and practitioners throughout the world.

Nice Work

I am a practicing orthopod and my son
just entered the orthpedic residency
programme, I found the book provides
good ground work on different specialties
of orthopedics, the flow of thoughts are
logical, and coherent throughout the text
unlike multi-authored textbooks which are
so very abundant on the market.
I highly recommend this pocket sized handy
book to almost anyone who really loves orthopedics

Good guide for doctors in general practice

I run a busy private clinic in general practice, and frequently encounter orthopaedic problems
I find this pocket guide of immense use and clarifies many concepts I never understood when they taught me orthopaedics before I graduate from medical school
It is consise and precise and very handy, easy to read.

A magnificent book

Frankly I seldom found reading textbook interesting, and I fancy reading novels all my life
But I found this book help stimulate one's interest in orthopaedics. I think it is useful not only to orthopedist, but to physiotherapist like myself. It helps me to understand the prescriptions made by the surgeons and the underlying rationale,
