All doctors come into contact with patients who have musculoskeletal disorders; Pocket Tutor Orthopaedics is a comprehensive, concise and clear guide to this specialty.
Chapters 1 and 2 open the book by covering the principles of orthopaedic examination, investigations and management. Subsequently, each chapter covers the conditions of a specific region, describing clinical features, relevant imaging modalities and options for definitive treatment. Throughout, the text is enriched with supportive diagrams and pertinent radiographs.
This book enables rapid access to topics in orthopaedics, which makes it invaluable to medical students as well as junior doctors working in orthopaedics or the emergency department.
We hope that you will find Pocket Tutor Orthopaedics useful on the ward, in clinic, in theatre, in the emergency department and in achieving examination success.
