Synopsis

"Manual of Orthopaedics, Seventh Edition" provides you with quick access to the orthopaedic information needed to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries and diseases with confidence. Your keys to excellence in your orthopaedic challenges: broad scope covers the full range musculoskeletal conditions, from the commonly encountered seen in primary care medicine to the catastrophic seen in the emergency rooms and orthopaedic clinics; user-friendly outline format provides quick access to essential facts on a variety of acute and chronic orthopaedic disorders; treatment algorithms provide an initial approach to all musculoskeletal problems; and illustrations support the text offering visual guidance on common techniques - including placement of splints, use of casts, and injections. New to the Seventh Edition: all chapters have been updated with the most current information; new authors have been added to gain a fresh perspective and to update chapter outlines where indicated; and clear distinction has been made regarding what conditions are appropriately managed by primary care and emergent/urgent care providers and which need orthopaedic subspecialist care. A must have resource for students, residents, primary care providers, emergent and urgent care providers and orthopaedic providers in all practice enviornments.

About this title

Review

"The book covers most areas of orthopedics, including physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment. It is understandably more thorough with regard to trauma. It is comfortable to hold and one can quickly page through the outline style. The nine appendixes are very useful as quick references for musculoskeletal examination and evaluation. This will be useful as a quick reference to its intended audience."
