This excellent textbook systematically deals with the mechanisms of injury, symptoms, signs, treatment and complications of all common Orthopaedic injuries. In addition to X-rays,the author has also illustrated his book with superb line drawings. It has saved me many needless calls to Orthopaedic Registrars - I thoroughly recommend it.

A great book for young residents. Very good for getting your basic orthopaedic knowlegde. The book is based upon easy and comprehensive drawings. The drawings make it very easy to read and gives a quick understandment of general treatment guidelines.

The books downsides are some of old remnants in the femur-fracture-treatments and that it's not as indepth as one needs at a later stage. Many of the internal fixation techniques described can be a little too indepth without any real theoretical knowledge. At our hospital we usually use different procedures from the ones described in the book making the descriptions a little useless since McRae doesn't pinpoint which principles are important in each procedure and how to avoid common errors.

fast shipping, reasonable price, product shipped as described. However, still waiting for refund of the same item ordered double by one click mistake.
