Very informative Book
Really post graduate book, can be mastered, real distillation of Big Rockward Fractures

This book has all the essential facts and relevant classifications you need for the daily trauma meeting. It is excellent for quick reference and easy to carry. There is a surprising amount of detailed information for such a small book and it reads fairly well, rather than just a collection of lists. The best small fracture handbook on the market, worth its price for the amount you will use it.
