5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic, gold standard,
This review is from: Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)
There is only one Hoppenfeld. For what it is, it's the best. It's all diagnosis. Not a word on treatment. But it gives a good review of not just the physical exam but also the underlying anatomy and biomechanics. Two other books are worth getting. Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment is a good background book to have on your shelf. It's written by a physical therapist, so the perspective is a little different if you're an MD or DO, but it's still useful. Lots of physical exam maneuvers. Cooper's Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis is short and sweet and gives diagnostic work up as well as treatment insights.

Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)
This was the text we used in Physical Therapy school. As a beginning PT it was quite adequate but as an experienced PT who needs to have excellent palpation skills to differentiate various structures it lacks a great deal. My favorite books for surface anatomy are 3 books published by Aspen, Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine, Diagnosis and Treatment of the Upper Extremities and Diagnosis and Treatment of the Lower Extremities written by Dos Winkel, Omer Matthijs and Valerie Phelps

Mediocre,
By Douglas Philips (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities (Hardcover)
The layout of the text is monotonous
The content is below average as compared to many other physical exam texts, important exam techniques like ober's test, acetabular stress test, patrick's test etc are not dealt with adequately Poor buy
