This volume presents an office management guide for orthopaedic care, detailing steps that illustrate proper patient management, from evaluation through injection and referral. It explains each problem by analyzing how a typical patient describes the discomfort, describing what to look for during the exam, suggesting when to request X-rays and illustrating how to draw sound diagnosis from clinical observations. The text also covers soft tissue injection, indicating points of entry, depth of injection, and which kinds of needles to use. A table of supports, braces and casts is also included to enable the choice of efficient, cost-effective immobilizers for patients. Comparison tables list dose, cost and use of injectable corticosteroids, NSAID's, and calcium supplements. Finally, the book comes with 15 take-home information sheets on thermal flexibility and toning treatments to distribute to patients.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Review of first edition: "This handbook can be a valuable quick reference addition to the office library of family physicians who treat musculoskeletal problems but are not fully informed on treatment protocol. It is also a good guide to injection techniques, and provides patient handouts that may be valuable with selected patient populations..." -The Journal of Family Practice

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good orthopedic overview,
This review is from: Office Orthopedics for Primary Care: Diagnosis and Treatment, 2e (Paperback)
Office Orthopedics for Primary Care offers a succinct overviewof primary care orthopedic problems. The book is well-written andcovers common orthopedic injuries. The book is somewhat deficient in diagrams and pictures, especially when discussing orthopedic clinical exam tests. Overall, a worthwhile addition to any physician's library.

Informative and Accessible Textbook,
By David Shenson (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Office Orthopedics for Primary Care: Diagnosis and Treatment, 2e (Paperback)
Bruce Anderson has created a wonderful textbook that allows the reader to understand, diagnose, and effectively treat most medical orthopedic problems. Specific problems are easy to identify, review, and treat. Handy figures and specific patient instructions are a nice complement to the text. Having worked with Dr. Anderson as a resident, I find this book to be something I never like to have too far from my office.
