Customer Reviews

An excellent overview of orthopaedics
This is an excellent introduction to the subject of orthopaedics and is ideal for undergraduate students of medicine and related subjects. The book is divided into three parts. The first covers general orthopaedics including topics such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and bone tumours. The second part covers regional orthopaedics and the third fractures and joint injuries - this includes important areas such as the principles of fracture treatment and the process of bone healing.

Excellent
Very clear throughout, focusing on issues from an undergraduate medical student perspective. Probably the best orthopaedics book I have come across so far.
