A Doody's Core Title for 2015.A complete evidence-based textbook and reference for physical therapy students and practitionersDutton’s Orthopaedic Examination, Evaluation, and Intervention provides you with a systematic, logical approach to the evaluation and intervention of the orthopedic patient. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Dutton’s strikes the perfect balance in its coverage of examination and treatment.For any intervention to be successful, an accurate diagnosis must be followed by a carefully planned and specific rehabilitation program to both the affected area and its related structure. This approach must take into consideration the structure involved and the stage of healing. Dutton’s Orthopaedic Examination, Evaluation, and Intervention emphasizes the appropriate use of manual techniques and therapeutic exercise based on these considerations. The correct applications of electrotherapeutic and thermal modalities are outlined throughout as adjuncts to the rehabilitative process.The content reflects the consistent, unified voice of a single author – a prominent practicing therapist who delivers step-by-step guidance on the examination of each joint and region. This in-depth coverage leads you logically through systems review and differential diagnosis, aided by decision-making algorithms.Features:NEW full-color illustrations of anatomy and treatment and evaluation procedures Review Q&A for each chapterCompanion DVD includes 500 illustrative video clipsChapters updated to reflect the latest research and treatment techniques

Although this book present the information in a logical manner, the information given contradicts itself throughout the book. Multiple editing and grammar errors can be found. For example, when looking at a figure of the medial ankle ligaments, the tibia and fibula are transposed. Last time I checked, the fibula was the lateral bone of the lower leg! Metatarsals are commonly confused with metacarpals. Paragraphs are repeated needlessly within the same chapter. Capsular patterns and open-packed and closed-pack positions vary depending on which chapter you find them in. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK to be used in physical therapy programs

The layout of the textbook is great. It has a review of anatomy in each chapter and then goes into examination techniques, evaluation, and interventions. It would be nice if it went into a little more detail about interventions. The reason I give this book 2 stars is because there are way too many errors in the book. Pictures are mislabeled often and there are many mistakes within the text.

As the title implies, I am very happy with this textbook. Dutton details (seemingly) every pathology for every aspect of the musculoskeletal system there is. He goes through exam techniques, details interventions, and adds his own clinical opinions. There are many illustrations and tables to compliment the texts, too.The only gripe I have is that there is basically NO goniometry material within this book. I find it very odd, since ROM measurements are such a large part of a PT exam. My classmates and I had to purchase an additional text solely for that aspect (Measurement of Joint Motion, by C. Norkin and D. White--solid text, no complaints). And after said purchase, I somewhat understand why Dutton did not included it; the goni information alone would have increased the text by 1/3 or so. Still, I find this to be a flaw. Though, note that I still gave it 5 stars, demonstrating my pleasure with it otherwise.Cheers!

My hobby and passion is medicine and even though I am not a physical therapy student or practitioner, this book is of great interest to me. The in-depth detail provided in each aspect of the examination, evaluation and intervention, accompanied by the various illustrations result in a formidable learning tool to help understand certain ailments that afflict people and to assess some of the proposed treatments. I am extremely satisfied in the purchase of this book.

It is not so much the content of the book I am rating, but the fact that I have no page numbers on my e-book pages, only locations. This does not help me when I have to synchronize with my online class. The pages need to be printed. I don't care much about the location.Sorry.

I bought this book when I noticed many of the new grads around me use it and spoke highly of it. It is much more comprehensive than the text I had back in school, and is clearly indexed for reference. This makes it a handy tool when you just want look up that one test or detail.

I purchased this book 2 years ago and now on my kindle app for my laptop it says it is not compatible with windows 8!!! anyone else run into this problem?? I am highly disappointed since this book was expensive and was looking forward to using it as a reference.

Excellent layout, color coded side bars, clinical pearls, and case studies all included. Great resource for differential diagnosis and treatment.
