Apley and Solomon's Concise System of Orthopaedics and Trauma

Reviews / Votes

"This text has moved a long way since Apley's original 1959 publication, and has been expanded to become a general orthopaedic text for medical students and other students of orthopaedics. The original (remembered fondly from my own student days) with its 'Look, Feel, Move' mantra focused on teaching students a systematic hands-on approach to orthopaedic evaluation, not relying heavily on special investigations.

The current edition incorporates the original Apley system, but it has been expanded to become a more general reference, richly illustrated with colour photographs, X-ray and other clinical images, and illustrations. ... All in all it is a wonderful little textbook, and a pleasure to recommend to students."

"Intended mainly for medical students and junior surgical trainees ... the material is very well presented and illustrated ... perhaps the best book on the market for these readers. I strongly recommend this book."
-Edward Abraham, MD, in Doody's Review Service

"This book and its website will prove very useful to students and early trainees in orthopedics ... The text is easy to read and the approach is systematic. It is a worthwhile addition to the academic library that is frequented by medical students interested in orthopedics ... [and the] accompanying ebook version is a useful adjunct."
