Customer Reviews

An excellent introduction to orthopaedics and fractures.
This volume would be an ideal pocket companion for casualty SHOs. It explains the necessity for hands on examination and full clinical history taking. Differential diagnoses are given as well as useful guidelines for requesting other investigations such as radiography and patholgy tests.

Not as good as I expected.
Although the delivery, cost and packaging were excellent, I am a bit disappointed in the book itself - but that is nothing to do with the seller, only the content of the book. It is not as comprehensive as other Orthopaedic books I have purchased from Amazon but I will nonetheless keep it in my reference collection.
