5.0 out of 5 stars The most USED book I own!, March 26, 1999
By A Customer
While caring for an active population, I find this book invaluable. The organization is excellent and easy to reference. Concise diagnostic modalities and treatment protocols that are up to date and practical. Many illustrations and diagrams to aid in the diagnosis and treatment. Overall an excellent reference guide for any primary care provider.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emergency Orthopedics, February 23, 2006

This review is from: Emergency Orthopedics (Hardcover)
I am a PA in an ED and this book is invaluable, although I did an ortho rotation this book gives the current thoughts/treatment modalities for injuries. I have found that it deliniates what needs surgery now vs. in the near future or what can be splinted and follow up. (That is always the tough thing to figure out without experience.) This is an easy read and great from the beginning up to advanced ortho. It is well organized and goes by sections of the extremities (upper arm vs lower arm, hands then fingers). It has helpful sections on MRI, CT and other basic radiology studies for ortho purposes. Well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars EMERGENCY ORTHOPEDICS, January 17, 2007
Excellent resource. I have already used it in my practice. I work in the ER so it helps to ensure that I am performing the right techniques and making proper referrrals.
