This book is great! It has the most common orthopedic conditions that one will see in the clinic setting. Not only does it give a brief overview, but it discusses physical exam findings, differential diagnosis, non-operative and operative treatment. I think the thing that really sets this book apart it that it also concisely addresses patient education bullet points to hit, surgical positioning, and describes the surgical procedure(s) that would be performed if the condition is treated surgically. It basically comments on most things the patient will question during the appointment so you won't be left without an answer. There are great anatomical illustrations and tables. It also details how to do the most common procedures and injections with pictures as well as online videos. This book is a combination of Netter's Concise Orthopaedic Anatomy and Essential Orthopaedics. I am a preceptor for PA and medical students, and I recommend this as a practical orthopedic reference that the student will be able to use for the rest of their career. It could even fit into the pocket of a white coat!By Crystal
There are a handful of minor errors I have found throughout the book (like using a 25g needle for an aspiration) but again, these are minor and you'll recognize these if you have a little bit of ortho knowledge. The biggest area for improvement I see would be with the ICD-9 codes that are listed for each condition. These are great but ICD-10 is coming in October and the ICD-9 codes won't be applicable at that point. This could certainly be updated in a second edition, but seeing how complicated orthopedic ICD-10 coding is going to be it might be an overwhelming section.
Overall, I am very impressed with the amount of practical and useful information that is contained in this small book. If you are going to get one orthopedic book, get this one!
