Dawn Gulick taught Ortho to my class and this book is the best. I only wish we had it at the begining of the class. Everything she taught us was included. It is a really good reference that actually fits in your pocket. I carry it with me at clinic as a reference. It is easy to use and just short of bullet proof. You can write in it and erase pen with an alcohol pad. I have spilled coffee on it without a scratch. My CI even found it useful because it jogged her momory on stuff she doesn't really use that often.

I happened across this book a year ago and can't believe how much I refer to this book. It is an excellent reference during exams and I find myself thumbing through it during down time. The pictures, quick easy exam tips, easy follow reading and layout are all just a few of the characteristics that I truly appreciate. I always am coming across something that is a wonderful review and or something that I was not aware of. I LOVE the differential diagnosis in each section. Another quality of this book is that the pages are sturdy and waterproof. I'm sure as often as I have carried this around with me over the past year, the pages would have been rather dog-eared if only of paper product.

This book follows suit with most of the other write-on wipe-off with alcohol medical type pocket reference books. I love that they actually fit in my scrub pockets, and that they are waterproof! As far as information, this book is perfect for someone like me. I work in an ortho-office and I'm also in nursing school. It really has clarified some things for me. I also recommend RN notes, Med Surg Notes, OB Notes, and Assess Notes. They are all top notch, and I just listed them in order from my most-favorite to my least favorite. (Assess notes is good, RN notes is FABULOUS. Ortho Notes comes right after Med Surg Notes in my ranks!) :) Thanks for reading y'all!

I love this product. It is durable, and full of useful information. It follows what I am learning in my Ortho class. Very helpful, with great pictures. I plan on taking this when I go on my clinicals.

Book looks good. A few sticky parts on the cover, probably a price tag, but it shipped so fast! great!

Saw my colleague using this, browsed through it and thought it was a nice one to keep for a quick review.Bought the kindle version though since I'm always carrying my smartphone.Overall it was good but the pictures and texts does not coincide/align with each other most of the time.(very evident especially on muscle pain referral patterns pictures and texts).For me it's not confusing since I know what the muscles are but for others that may not be familiar, it's misleading due to the texts and pictures not aligned.Hence the three stars.Please fix it.

A great book! Quick, easy and informative! No need to carry large bulky books around! Nice pics and great for review for specific physical exam tests! A must for Ortho/ Occ Med providers!

This is a great pocket reference guide that contains special tests for and information about any joint or suspected injury. It's a great book to have in your medical library.

This is a good quick reference book that is small enough to fit into any work station. My teacher in school suggested us to get this book, and I couldn't agree more.

Good reference book, especially if you are not an ortho person by nature. Wish the print was bigger
