This is the best orthopedic book for the medical student or intern, it has the basics of every common orthopedic pathologies and it serves it's purpose well, but i must recommend for the health professional to encourage reading more deeply to get true knowledge for practice, this book it's just a brush off! a quick reminder! a guideline!. Anyway, i'm happy with my purchase and would continue to buy from lange. Thank you.

This isn't the book I thought it would be. Too detailed when details weren't needed...and too basic when details would have been helpful. There are better books out there.

I find the discussion on most topics not as well organized and not in-depth enough, sometimes the discussion is inadequate while other times long-winded, makes me giddy
Poor buy

This book makes you feel so comfortable in the "up-date" orthopaedics literature, with no need to buy an expensive text-book, this manuable book gives us a chance to review very well any topic in this very vast field of orthopaedics. I think that in some moment the author is going to need a yearly edition of this practical work.This book seems to be the "musculoskeletal current" option...some changes are predictable, but they will come in next years, thak you Dr. Skinner, its a good job, junior and senior surgeons will apreciate your effort to give us this good and easy to use information data bank.
