Review
This text must remain the best basic introduction on the subject and it will undoubtedly also remain the bible for both undifferentiated young surgeons aiming for their Fellowship and for trainees entering the specialty of trauma and orthopaedics. (Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England )
The seventh edition... combines the best of British tradition... It is likely to remain the best and most popular text for the orthopaedic postgraduate student. (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (British Volume) )
In my opinion this text belongs in every practising orthopaedist's library, to be referred to when he or she is confronted with a problem not commonly seen in an increasingly specialized practice (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American Volume )
the new volume not only lives up to our expectations, based on the previous seven, but exceeds them...this book has become a treasure, a dependable friend who can be trusted to tell the truth... (From the foreword to the 8th edition by Henry J. M ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Since the publication of the first edition in 1959, Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures has been an essential textbook for those seeking to understand the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases and its response to trauma. As the leading textbook of modern orthopaedics for over 50 years, this book is a testament to the late Alan Apley's skills as a teacher, and the care and forethought that he brought to the presentation of the content.
The current authors have developed and extended this foundation to produce a thoroughly modern textbook of orthopaedic surgery, bringing complementary expertise while retaining the book's characteristic philosophy and approach. They are joined by a selection of expert contributors from around the world, who provide added material on a wide variety of subjects including radiology, open fractures, neuromuscular disorders and inflammatory arthropathies.
This ninth edition echoes its predecessors in following Apley's approach to the orthopaedic patient. As before, the work is divided into three sections: General Orthopaedics, Regional Orthopaedics and Fractures and Joint Injuries. The material has been fully updated and revised and there are over 1000 illustrations.
Apley's System's wide readership of practicing orthopaedic surgeons, postgraduate trainees and residents in orthopaedics and general surgery, A&E specialists and physiotherapists is evidence of the authors' ability to instruct and inspire. The book is a truly fitting introduction to modern-day orthopaedics.

Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures 8th Edition is a text that provides a wealth of knowledge useful to a wide group of practitioners working in the musculoskeletal field. Divided into sections on differential diagnosis, trauma and conditions by region each chapter is presented and illustrated to a high standard and is supported by references and further reading.Covering a wide spectrum of pathologies from those encountered on a daily basis to once in a lifetime this text will remain a popular choice for those involved in the management of orthopaedic conditions. Although traditionally used by orthopaedic surgeons I would not hesitate to recommend this text to practitioners of other medical disciplines working in orthopaedics.

Ideal for reviewing the all field of orthopaedics and fractures, maybe it works as a "deskbook" for the orthopaedical surgeon that needs a help in any part of the very wide field of the orthopaedical surgery and medicine.
Iam a senior orthopaedist and find it very practical for reviewing the all material of my specialty( it has a lot of references at the end of every chapter)...I recommend it to any orthopaedist or resident of orthopaedics.

Time for a real review
24 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was extremely disappointed with this title. I try and research the books that I read carefully, and the general positive feedback for this book did not live up to the gossip. Largely speaking, this is a dated text from a legend in the field of orthopaedics. However, given the most recent books being published, this book is way out of its league.
The book is divided into three sections: general orthopaedics, regional orthopaedics, and fractures and joint injuries. Although each chapter and section follows a similar style of authorship, the depth of information is extremely varied. One chapter may be just skimming the surface where another is pointing out things is grotesque detail. Another huge fall of each chapter is the dated text that is geared to an international audience. In almost every section of regional orthopaedics, it speaks about the catastrophic nature of tuberculosis. After reading this book, one might think that at the very core of orthopaedics is the treatment of tuberculosis. In reality, how often is this seen? Rarely!
The first section is tragically disappointing in that its primary focus is general information that is learned in medical school. It is really information that a primary care physician would need. Forgive me, but I just don't see how reading about medical management of rheumatoid arthritis is going to help me with orthopaedic surgery. Even still, if I was a primary care physician, this is definitely not the source that I would pick up, which should be for orthopaedic surgeons.
The next section, regional orthopaedics, is the golden egg of the book. In rather simplistic detail, it explains physical exam maneuvers, orthopaedic conditions and basic treatments. It is helpful for a beginner. The down side is just that; it's for a beginner. Details for each condition are scanty and incomplete. The information in this text certainly isn't updated enough and doesn't cover surgical interventions in the depth that you would expect if this text were for an orthopaedic surgeon. There is very little information on surgical technique. I would feel very uncomfortable treating my patients or even recommending surgery if this book were my primary source.
The final section, fractures and joint injuries, isn't the worst thing in the world. It is, however, plagued by overly wordy and boring sections on ATLS and how the emergency medical system runs in the UK. The sad thing is that pocket books, like handbook of fractures, give more information on fracture classification and treatment than this big book can deliver in 300 pages on fractures. It's sad and very wordy!
Final thoughts: Don't listen to the critics that exclaim this book is a must have for orthopaedic surgeons or that it will help you do well on your exam. Trust me, I have taken the OITE, this book didn't own up. Even for a general or beginner text, I would probably recommend the clinical diagnosis and treatment book on orthopaedics before this one. It is more concise and better written. If your about to take your first leap into orthopaedics, don't pick this one. If your an advanced learner, there is nothing more to learn here. It's an expensive, dated text that from a legendary orthopaedist. Perhaps the book remains in print just to keep his memory alive.

The most caring seller I've ever seen
5 May 2009
Format:Paperback
The book was in excellent condition and I'd like to describe more about the seller who understood my problem how fast it had to be delivered, because I was sending this book overseas and shipped the book as soon as I made transaction.
Thank you and GOD bless this seller, if I'm not mistaken his name was Philipe and The book store's is lastwordbookshop.
