This review is from: Arthroscopic Knot Tying: An Instruction Manual (Paperback)

I read this book In my fourth year of med school when I knew I was going be an orthapedic surgeon and knew I was going to specialize in sports medicine. This book put me a few steps ahead of the class. I impressed my teachers and gave myself the confidence I needed to get through all of the work in med school. This book teaches you the most up-to-date knots for arthroscopic suregery, and I suggest this to anyone who has anyhting to do with sports medicine.
