A Quick Guide to Essential Orthopedics
Description
As the name of the book itself suggests, this book intends to lay a conceptual, scientific, evidence-based firm basic foundation as well as advanced learning for a doctor who wishes to either start a career as an Orthopod or already pursuing it (MS/ DNB/ Senior Resident/ Registrar/Fellow/ Consultant) or has Orthopaedics as a part in his career (MBBS/ Paramedical) as a doctor or paramedical personnel. This book is a foundation study for Orthopaedics of MBBS students. It covers theory and the clinical aspects which a student pursuing his MBBS degree in an autonomous institute of national importance, i.e., AIIMS & AIIMS-like institutions of India, must know about and pass with excellent and concise knowledge of Orthopaedics. This book focuses on laying a sound foundation for beginners in Orthopaedics. This book shall be helpful as first read to lay a basic knowledge and foundation of Orthopaedics to Orthopaedics postgraduate trainees, senior residents, fellows, and attending consultants. The importance of Orthopaedics is more than ever now in MBBS as well as during NEET/NEXT. Many institutes and colleges are already conducting the Orthopaedics exams in MBBS as a separate, independent subject. Hence, there is an urgently emerging need for a textbook adherent to the recommended curriculum, and this book shall be more apt, appropriate, and detailed than any book available in the country. The book covers all the standard topics important for an undergraduate to learn and an intern to practice. It also provides an introduction to recent advances and evidence-based medicine. This book is a total package as a textbook for all the necessary information required for a successful undergraduate and an early postgraduate trainee.
