Editorial Reviews

Review
"The editor and his contributors are still able to effectively present most of orthopedics in a single volume at an affordable price. There is a definite need for this type of book. It represents an important contribution to our better understanding of the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal trauma and disorders. I highly recommend it to all residents and physicians involved in caring for patients with orthopedic problems. General orthopedics surgeons and subspecialists may use it as a quick reference." (Doody's ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars all most a needed book for the junior orthopedics surgeon, October 21, 2000

By	rogelio arce b (San Jose Costa Rica) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics (Paperback)

This book must be in every orthopedics resident librery, it has the fast way to find out a review of an specific topic in the wide field of the orthopedics. This book must be edited as often as possible to make it a "current", even the senior surgeons need it for a fast consultation in every day practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars it makes you feel up-date in the vast field of orthopaedics, July 1, 2003

By	Rogelio (David Chiriqui) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics (Paperback)

This book makes you feel so comfortable in the "up-date" orthopaedics literature, with no need to buy an expensive text-book, this manuable book gives us a chance to review very well any topic in this very vast field of orthopaedics. I think that in some moment the author is going to need a yearly edition of this practical work.This book seems to be the "musculoskeletal current" option...some changes are predictable, but they will come in next years, thak you Dr. Skinner, its a good job, junior and senior surgeons will apreciate your effort to give us this good and easy to use information data bank.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book!, March 11, 2006

By	J. L. Seagull (Tijuana, Mexico.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Orthopedics (Paperback)

This is the best orthopedic book for the medical student or intern, it has the basics of every common orthopedic pathologies and it serves it's purpose well, but i must recommend for the health professional to encourage reading more deeply to get true knowledge for practice, this book it's just a brush off! a quick reminder! a guideline!. Anyway, i'm happy with my purchase and would continue to buy from lange. Thank you.
