�This is a valuable initial and last-minute review for the orthopaedic boards. Due to its succinct overview of each subspecialty in orthopaedics, it would also be valuable to younger residents about to begin that specific subspecialty rotation. This would give them some basic knowledge for �pimp� questions as well as direct their reading to increase their fund of knowledge.�

This review is from: First Aid for the Orthopaedic Boards (First Aid Series) (Paperback)

very basic, in a list format. It would be much better in a question and answer format with references in the answers like "Review questions in orthopaedics"
