Essential Orthopaedics and Trauma

An undergraduate textbook of orthopaedics and trauma. This popular title concentrates on the commoner conditions and has been brought fully updated for this new edition. High-quality radiographs and two-colour line diagrams support the lucid text

"The book is divided into three main sections: background knowledge, trauma and orthopaedics. The background knowledge section is excellent with a section on how to go about examining different joints, an overview of anatomy and - best of all, a section explaining in a few pages the basic methods of treatment for tendons, bones, joints, ligaments and nerves. There are lots of illustrations (diagrams and x-rays) of the different methods and I was left feeling that I had a good basic knowledge of what you could do in the case of damage to each component of the system. Overall I think that this is an excellent book and would recommend buying it for the huge number of diagrams and x-rays alone."
