Great revision book for FRCS(Tr.&Orth.),
By Mr A. Kocheta (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Review of Orthopaedics (Paperback)
This text is excellent for revision in the 6 months prior to the intercollegiate fellowship exam. It is necessary to have read other fuller texts first but for final cramming and quick reference for memory joggers it can't be beaten.One word of warning however: there are a number of errors in the text which I found useful prior to the exam. The better I knew the material, the more errors I found! Despite this, the book is invaluable.

A Review is Just a Review,
By "wallag" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Review of Orthopaedics (Paperback)
I am a military flight surgeon applying to Orthopaedic Surgery residencies this fall. I bought this book to help give me an overview of current practice. The book covers basic sciences and all of the subspecialties comprehensively and concisely in outline format. Diagrams are minimal and crude but they do adequately support to text.Because it is a REVIEW book, it does not try to teach basic information to the reader; it is assumed that you are a knowledgeable orthopaedic practitioner. I found that, even as a practicing physician, I needed to review my anatomy and orthopaedics at a more basic level in order to get the most out of this book. I was able to quickly identify some of my weaknesses and, more importantly, become more fluent with orthopaedic jargon. I no longer rely on this book for my basic source material. Instead, I am concentrating on reading the classic orthopaedic texts for my primary education -- I will rely on this book as a REVIEW only. In that capacity it earns its five star review. 11 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

Very disappointed,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Review of Orthopaedics (Paperback)
I am a chief resident in orthopaedic surgery currently studying for my written board exam. As I have read through this text I have been consistently surprised by the number of blantant mistakes and inaccuracies, especially since this is the SECOND edition. Example: anatomy of ulnar nerve at the wrist p. 544--absosutely wrong; several of the anatomy diagrams have no lables (which were included in the 1st edition); many non-sense sentences such as under discussion of the patella: "Somewhat triangular in shape, the apex of the patella gives rise to the patella, and they fuse sometime between the second and sixth year of life." It reads as though is was written by a medical student instead of "the most reliable experts in the field" as touted on the cover. Not worth the [money].

A treasure to UP-DATE the general orthopaedics knowledge...,
By Rogelio Arce B. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Review of Orthopaedics (Paperback)
There are some books, maybe very few, that make orthopaedics practice easier, this is one of them, you may read it every day or night when resting, while fishing or camping. One may take a subject: giant cell tumor, and in few moments remember the main points; or know new things in few minutes as when see the Chevron' s procedure for some hallux valgus. This is a current procedure in USA, but was not used in latinamerican countries since 25 years ago, and now it returns...and so on... if you have Campbell's or Chapman's then you need this book.
