I preordered this book after seeing Dr. Parks give amazing talks on the knee and the shoulder at the American College of Physicians conference. The book does not disappoint. He talks about internists who are comfortable with septic shock but terrified of a sprained ankle. This was me! The book is entertaining (with interested trivia bits) and educational. He demystifies orthopedic conditions and gives a non orthopedist confidence in dealing with patients and making decisions. I feel like I understand orthopedic problems much better after reading this book. I am more confident in my patient care and also more confident talking with my patients. The book includes what is useful to know. Unlike many ortho review articles, he doesn't waste time on useless physical exam techniques from the stone age with sensitivity and specificity of 10%. He focuses on what is important. Lots of high quality photos and diagrams. An extensive final chapter on multiple injection techniques. I highly recommend this book to any internist, FP doc, hospitalist, NP or PA. I love to learn and this book was a pleasure. Review: I wish I had read this book in medical school - I'm transitioning from hospital practice to primary care, and bought a number of books to help improve my clinical skills. This book fit the bill PERFECTLY. The author explains different diseases and his approach succinctly and directly. He gives great analogies (that I'm filing away to share with patients) that help illustrate the concepts. The book is well-illustrated. I particularly like the frequent sidebars-- when I find I'm losing focus getting through the main material, I read a tidbit from one of the sidebars and that's enough of a break. I wish this book had been around when I was in medical school, because examining knees/shoulders/hips would have made much more sense. I would recommend this book for: -Medical Students learning how to do an Orthopedic Exam (and who want to know what they're actually testing for) -Residents looking to develop skills at Orthopedic examination and diagnosis -Primary Care physicians looking to hone their Orthopedic diagnostic skills, or figure out how to better-treat patients in-house without blindly referring every joint pain to a specialist. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #122,993 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Rheumatology (Books) #26 in Orthopedic Surgery #31 in Sports Medicine (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (271) | | Dimensions | 7.4 x 0.6 x 9.1 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1259642860 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1259642869 | | Item Weight | 1.65 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | December 29, 2017 | | Publisher | McGraw Hill / Medical | ## Images ![Practical Office Orthopedics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RDFHYT2dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superfan of this great book! *by M***R on January 31, 2018* Internal medicine physician for 17 years here.
