Description

This concise third edition offers hands-on guidance for identifying and treating the most commonly seen orthopedic problems in children and adults. Its many photographs and illustrations serve as a useful clinical reference and make the book convenient as a study source for medical students. Each of the many topics is covered in depth and is designed to educate medical students and steer them towards formulating excellent diagnoses and treatment plans. As a further aid, multiple-choice questions are included at the end of each chapter. The questions are very similar to those that students will see on their boards. A section devoted to case studies further illustrates common orthopedic problems and their treatment.

Recommended reading lists complete the chapters and provide direction for readers interested in delving deeper into particular topics. All of the contributors are experts in their respective subspecialties, making the book a dependable source for timely, clinically relevant information.
