Great little reference for orthopods or really anyone dealing with musculoskeletal conditions in practice. Takes a little while to get used the format in some areas but there is a ton of info in this little book. To my surprise, on several occasions I have come across something that I was reading about in a large text book. Recommended.
As a PA student, I know I can never possibly remember every exam and test for every condition. Having this allows me to refresh my memory without carrying around a textbook. If you are thinking of the kindle version to use on an iPhone, consider a few things- the pages don't really fit well so things get a bit off kilter and harder to read, also if an attending sees you reading this, you look smart. If they see you staring at your phone, you look like you are slacking off. I wish Tarascon sold these in sets, I'd probably buy more of them.
I work as a Physician Assistant in Orthopedic surgery. This has been in my pocket for over 15 years. Great reference. Kudos to any one who can memorize every nerve innervation....Lol.....If you are mortal, like me, carry this book.
It's hard to put a price on something this cheap, yet packs a lot of value. Ortho PGY-1s commonly joke that this is the only book they have read during their residency. Good for ortho rotations that EM residents commonly do or for MS3/MS4 quick reference/quick read prior to ortho rotations.
if you're a student or still new this is a great resource. tiny enough to keep on you at all times. i keep this and the blue sports medicine book on me at all times. Together they have plenty of info should you need a quick refresher.
Was a fan of the previous version, and the more updated one has a lot more info to share.
It has become part of my white coat pocket assortment. Needless to say, I had to kick a few other things out of the essential pocket! : )Real great quick resource!
Much better overall layout than the original edition. Great quick pocket reference for orthopedic housestaff. Concise and to the point.
