This review is from: Orthopaedic Examination, Evaluation, and Intervention (Hardcover)

This is a great buy. Not very practical for day-to-day use. I prefer Hoppenfeld and Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis for a practical physical exam. And the Pocket Guide to MSK Dx is also good for history taking. But Dutton is a good buy for a reference book and has some good info in it.

This review is from: Orthopaedic Examination, Evaluation, & Intervention Pocket Handbook (Paperback)

The handbook to Dutton is a GREAT investment. It provides all the great information and images from Dutton, in a more succinct form. It has great tables and charts, and is great for referencing diagnoses, exam techniques, special tests, etc. If you are a PT student, or even a clinician, this is a great reference to have in your library!
