Description
Who's Who in Orthopedics gives an accurate account of people who were pioneers in the orthopedic world. This is a highly readable text, source of the inspirational and authoritative whose interesting lives and contributions make a comprehensive list of the great and the good in this field. A text for everyone with an interest in orthopedics, namely orthopedic surgeons and trainees, family physicians, medical students, physiotherapists and nurses and other health care workers who deal with orthopedic patients.

A Captivating and Very Readable Book! Highly Recommended.

What a wonderful book for orthopaedic surgeons and anyone who has an interest in the field! It is fascinating and details the lives of many of the greats in this area whose names are familiar but whose lives are largely unknown. It is written in an interesting and captivating style that is of interest to medics and lay people alike due to the inherently intriguing lives of those detailed in the book - and their idiosyncrasies. I began dipping into the book as I found more and more of interest and then found it works equally well to read it from front to back as each life is mesmerizing and reading it straight through can be almost a history of orthopaedics but written in an engaging style. It is the best book I have found in this area and one that I recommend wholeheartedly to anyone with an interest in orthopaedics or indeed in people. This book as one that you will go back to and enjoy again and again.
