 out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Broad in scope, detailed, and informative
I grabbed this text last time I went perusing through my university's medical library. I found the book to be broad in scope and quite similar in format to the larger Current Diagnosis and Lange review texts. Overall, it was enjoyable to read and would definitely serve as an outstanding reference for sports medicine gurus, ortho residents and of course medical student interested in ortho. The text assumes a thorough background in anatomy. If you're like me, you might need to keep a copy of Netter's handy in order to get the full gist of the various pathologies if anatomy is not your strongest suite. Overall- I found the book to be very good however I was left wanting a little more in many discussions (ie: brachial plexus injuries ) and a little less in other discussions (ie: stress/strain modulus). In the future, color illustrations would greatly complement this book and would better justify the price.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice book!
This is the best orthopedic book for the medical student or intern, it has the basics of every common orthopedic pathologies and it serves it's purpose well, but i must recommend for the health professional to encourage reading more deeply to get true knowledge for practice, this book it's just a brush off! a quick reminder! a guideline!. Anyway, i'm happy with my purchase and would continue to buy from lange. Thank you.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Forget about it.
This isn't the book I thought it would be. Too detailed when details weren't needed...and too basic when details would have been helpful. There are better books out there.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not as good as I thought
I find the discussion on most topics not as well organized and not in-depth enough, sometimes the discussion is inadequate while other times long-winded, makes me giddy
Poor buy



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - it makes you feel up-date in the vast field of orthopaedics
This book makes you feel so comfortable in the "up-date" orthopaedics literature, with no need to buy an expensive text-book, this manuable book gives us a chance to review very well any topic in this very vast field of orthopaedics. I think that in some moment the author is going to need a yearly edition of this practical work.This book seems to be the "musculoskeletal current" option...some changes are predictable, but they will come in next years, thak you Dr. Skinner, its a good job, junior and senior surgeons will apreciate your effort to give us this good and easy to use information data bank.
