Review

From the reviews:


"This book is conceived as a students course : it yields a schematic approach to all the facets of skeletal trauma. Pearls and tips draw the attention to useful details. The index includes 18 pages : this means that information can be immediately found in case of emergency. Last but not least : this book is an ideal preparation to board exams." (M. Hoogmartens, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 72 (4), 2006)

Excellent
Liked it for it provides an
updated bird`s eye view of
the ever-changing subject of
modern trauma. Topics not
often touched adequately in thick
texts like high-energy trauma are
also covered. Seems high value for
money.

Up to Date and 'In-a-nutshell' Nice Book
I do front line work, got confused by the changing
AO and other principles and the forever changing
implants. I like the Up-to-date and 'In-a nutshell'
type of book like this that high-light key points
rather than the boring huge texts used by me only
as references

Good Buy
Just bought this book on line & already loving it,
it clarifies many things I don't know about trauma,
just like concepts of relative stability, gap healing,
mechanism of tensioned wires, science of fusion cages,
high energy trauma. Real fun & easy to read.
