Format:Paperback
This pocketbook includes anatomy, mechanism of injury, classification, initial and definitive treatment, and complications of fractures and dislocations. It is very helpful when seeing patients in the Emergency Room. There are both drawing and photos of X-rays. The information is presented in text form -- this is it's one negative point -- tables would be a more appropriate and accessible format.

Great for PGY-1's and 2's in orthopaedics, ER residents
28 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
For the busy orthopaedic surgery and ER residents, this pocket "text" provides pertinent information regarding common fractures with focus on surgical options and relevant anatomy. Though not as detailed as other texts (i.e. Skeletal Trauma by Browner et al., and Hoppenfeld's Surgical Exposures...), the handbook comes close to providing the necessary information for appropriate evaluation and treatment of the patient with an orthopaedic injury. The second edition is a significant improvement over the first and would highly recommend this even for non-surgical physicians in private practice.

Handbook of Fractures
30 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Excellent text! I reviewed a friends copy and had to have one for myself. The text is well organized into the various musculoskeletal regions with thorough explinations of common and not so common injuries, including the recommended treatment. The illustrations are easily understood and add a great deal to the effectivness of this book. It is designed to fit into a lab coat pocket, and will make a handy reference.

great resource
15 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a good book for everyday use. The format is brief yet helpful. It is a good book for residents,physician assistants and students in the early stages. I use it also to refresh my memory when I encounter something I have not seen in awhile.
