Product Description

This leading introductory textbook of orthopaedics provides medical students, trainee surgeons and other health professionals with an invaluable overview of this important specialty. Praised in previous editions for the systematic approach, balanced content and easy-to-read style, the new edition has been brought fully up to date, with additional detail on anatomy, an improved focus on actual diseases and clinical signs and the introduction of handy 'stop check' points. Over 800 illustrations, many new to this third edition, are arranged as composites to provide a clear, pictorial account of the subject, and can be used in association with the text and as a revision tool. The book remains the first choice for those seeking a brief account of this large and complex subject, and is a natural precursor to the more detailed coverage offered by its larger parent 'Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures' for those wishing to pursue a career in orthopaedics.

Customer Reviews

Really easy to read and really easy to understand
This book really is FAB!
That sounds a little over enthusiastic considering it is a textbook but honestly, its really good.
I had to choose between this and a very very similar looking book in the library and I picked the other one. I struggled with it trying to learn about orthopaedics as a med student (and there is a lot to learn in 2 weeks!) and eventually gave up.
One of our registrars recommended this to me and I was amazed at the difference!
....plus it is quite pretty too!

A must for medical students
An excellent starter for students and foundation doctors alike. For £25 you canot go wrong. Contains a solid core of information on elective and trauma orthopaedics.
