5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent "must have" text for Orthopedic Surgeons, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics 4 Volume Set (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book that covers most aspects of Orthopedic Surgery. Every general Orthopedic Surgeon or Resident should have a copy of this book at home. There is not any other up-to-date comprehensive text like this.

This review is from: Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics 4 Volume Set (Hardcover)

The Campbell's was a good book when it was just 2 volumes, but with 4 volumens it has became a very large and hard to up-date book, it was better when editor was Crenshaw, but with Canale it has became a "heavy" book. I personally don't like it for my residents fellows, they buy the Mercer and the Apley's, and for surgical exposures the Hoppenfeld's. It must become a 2 volumes book, getting the 6th ed. as a sample, and maybe Canale will make a "campbell's yearbook".

Is a good book, but it is 1-very large and editions are very long one to the other. 2- very expensive to be changed as often as desirable. 3- Canale must make a "Campbell's year book" as an apendix. Any way is a book every one in orthopaedics need at least for the beginning.
