Self-assessment Case Histories

This text is designed to challenge the reader's knowledge in a practical format that relates to everyday clinical practice. The reader is presented with a series of clinical histories, followed by questions on how to proceed, which investigations to undertake, and diagnosis and management. Clinical features, investigation results and pathology are fully illustrated alongside the case history as relevant. Answers and extensive discussion of each case are included. The volume covers the common conditions found worldwide in orthpaedics - both adult and paediatric - in a randomized order. This format should be useful for students preparing for exams and trainees and junior doctors who need a quick review before clinical rounds.
