5.0 out of 5 stars Tolerances, November 9, 2005

By	Matt Carraba - See all my reviews

This is an awesome shirt pocket book that all the residents carry at my program. It has a lot of key information that I often forget or have to look up in texts and so has saved me a bunch of time. For instance if you look up "humerus" you can find acceptable angulations, indications for surgery, classifications, epidemiology... Very small, concise, and inexpensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, concise reference, November 29, 2005

By	Adrienne M. Harbour - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Geared for anyone who is needing constant reference to numeric tolerences for orthopaedic fractures. A must have for orthopaedic residents, but very applicable for med-students, Attendings or anyone needing a good reference guide. It's small and portable, this is definitely a 5 star buy for the price.

By	Sean M. Hassinger (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is THE pocketbook for the orthopaedic practitioner. I carried it throughout residency and it has saved an amazing amount of time. Immediate access to acceptable tolerances and surgical indications without having to run from the ER to the library.
