Very helpful book for understanding orthopedic surgery documentation and terminology. I've used this book as a resource over and over when coding orthopedic surgery reports. It gives detailed, yet simple pictures and very concise, easy-to-understand explanations of orthopedic terms in each section. The chapters are broken down into sections on the spine, hand/wrist, foot/ankle as well as many others. I especially found the pages with pictures of the hip, knee and femur--anterior and posterior views very clear and easy to visualize. By the way, everyone at work always borrows this book!!

I am an R.N. and work as a consultant in a law firm. Most of my hospital experience was in obstetrics so personal injury and worker's compensation cases were a challenge. I called a friend who works for a local orthopedist. He recommended Blauvelt's and Nelson's "A Manual of Orthoppaedic Terminology". It has been a tremendous resource for me. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a quick reference for orthopedic, rehab and neurosurgical terms.
