Excellent for medical students and interns, physician associates, nurses and nurse practitioners! A brief, clear overview of clinical orthopedics, including diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic emergencies and relevant clinical signs no one should miss. Chapters address the upper and lower limbs, the axial skeleton, systemic conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, and common pediatric conditions. Each topic is covered with regards to the relevant anatomy, clinical approach, and specific problems not to be overlooked. Review: Very appropriate level of detail - New to orthopedics? This book is a must have! The pictures are simple, yet contain enough detail to learn information needed to perform at a professional level. The book does a great job at stepping through the anatomy. It hits all the major conditions and does so in a way that is very easy to understand and retain. Highly recommend this book! Review: Concise, broad, and conceptual overview - I read this book before my first Orthopaedic rotation as a fourth year medical student and it was a superb introduction to Orthopaedic Surgery. It is very concise and well written, and introduces key concepts and fundamental principles of Orthopaedics. As most medical students know, the best learning on clerkships comes from reading about clinical situations as they come up in real life. That said, its always helpful to have a brief introduction to the field before beginning a rotation and I thought this book had the breadth and focus on concepts to be a perfect introductory read since my medical school has little to no coverage of common MSK conditions in the curriculum. More depth can always be found on Orthobullets and in textbooks and the primary literature, but it's helpful to have a broad overview to start out.

Amazing review but falls short in comprehensiveness
Felt lost while going into Ortho Sub-Is, but this book was a great quick review before going into them. It served well to give context to the field, but definitely not enough for a thorough review for sub-Is. If you are not in medical school, this book might be more apt for you. Overall, love the cartoon and definitely helped me some questions right on intense pimp sessions.

Med school orthopedics (basic orthopedics) presented in an easy to understand format.
This book is well written and easy to follow. I'm a fan of this publishers "Clinical Pathology Made Ridiculously Simple," and I found this book to be similar in presentation. This is a good book for Medical and PA students during their orthopedic didactic curriculum, and as a review before an orthopedic rotation, but it's a little too basic to be the only book you read during your orthopedic clerkship (for clerkship, I recommend also reading Case Files Orthopaedic Surgery).This is a good book to review orthopedic concepts for board exams. It's also a good book for primary care residents and primary care mid-level providers who want to brush up on ortho.

Multiple Myeloma
In the next edition please include a section on the dreaded bone cancer called multiple myeloma. Too many Orthopedic people, including physical therapists, often misdiagnose MM and blame it on arthritis.

Essential Reading for Ortho Interns, Residents and Techs
This book was provided to orthopedic technician students in a third world country. They use it in their first year of training and it is an excellent introduction to orthopedics in a lighthearted, very readable text.
