4.0 out of 5 stars
Broad in scope, detailed, and informative, September 29, 2008
This review is from: CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics, Fourth Edition (LANGE CURRENT Series) (Paperback)
I grabbed this text last time I went perusing through my university's medical library. I found the book to be broad in scope and quite similar in format to the larger Current Diagnosis and Lange review texts. Overall, it was enjoyable to read and would definitely serve as an outstanding reference for sports medicine gurus, ortho residents and of course medical student interested in ortho. The text assumes a thorough background in anatomy. If you're like me, you might need to keep a copy of Netter's handy in order to get the full gist of the various pathologies if anatomy is not your strongest suite. Overall- I found the book to be very good however I was left wanting a little more in many discussions (ie: brachial plexus injuries ) and a little less in other discussions (ie: stress/strain modulus). In the future, color illustrations would greatly complement this book and would better justify the price.
