fm7Foreword
It gives me immense pleasure to write the Foreword for Dr John Ebnezar's book Essentials of Orthopedics for Physiotherapists. Physiotherapy plays a very big role in treating orthopedic conditions, both traumatic and non-traumatic. Hence, it is mandatory for all physiotherapists to equip themselves with basic orthopedic knowledge and skills.
This book precisely aims to inculcate basics of orthopedic treatment principle and physiotherapy management. In fact, Dr Ebnezar is the first orthopedic surgeon from the country to make such an effort. Each chapter is adequate, comprehensive and written neatly. I am impressed by his distinctive style of writing, clarity of subject matter, coverage of contents, good quality illustrative diagrams, and lucid and simple language. I have helped him in the compilation and writing of the physiotherapy technique in orthopedics. This is a must-possess book by every physiotherapist and the teachers.
Dr Ebnezar needs no introduction. He is the most prolific orthopedic writer in the country today. His Textbook of Orthopedics is one of Jaypee's best sellers and has gained universal acceptance not only in our country but overseas too. In fact, this book has had a fantastic opening in the recently held World Book Fair in London and is being widely recommended in many physiotherapy colleges.
I sincerely hope this book will also go on to become a best seller and benefit the physiotherapic community. I heartly congratulate and wish him for his best effort in this project.

fm9Preface
I am happy to bring out the third edition of the Essentials of Orthopedics for Physiotherapists. The first two editions of the book were liked by all, both students and teachers, alike. The book has gained popularity such that it has reached now a cult status in history. Students continue to speak in glowing terms about the book and say that it is like the Bible for them.
Physiotherapy students across the country have liked the book. In all conferences, they say that they are very happy and satisfied with the book. The book is possessed by each and every physiotherapy student in the country and has been widely recommended by all the physiotherapy institutes. I have received huge compliments from all over the country. While bringing out the third edition, my physiotherapy friends, teachers and students have given lots of inputs and suggestions. In fact, for the third edition like the previous editions, all my physiotherapists who are working in my center helped me update the book. So, all lacunae have been addressed adequately.
It is thoroughly revised. It retains its multicolor and an impressive look. More clinical photographs and X-rays have been added in this edition.
Highlights
Hope you will extend the same kind of support and patronage for this new edition too. If there is still any shortcoming and mistake, please do not hesitate to bring it to my notice so that I can incorporate your suggestions in the next edition. I take this opportunity to thank the students and all the faculty members for their patronage for my book. Hope you will like this new edition very much.

I need to thank a lot of people both the physiotherapy and orthopedic fraternity for their help and support in bringing out this new edition. Mr Shahbab Zafar Iqbal is a very hardworking and dynamic physiotherapist who is working with me for the past two years now. He has helped me a lot in all stages of this edition. He has proofread the book not once but thrice. He has shown me what needs to be added and changed. He has thoroughly checked the contents of the book and advised me about the additions and deletions. He has spent a lot of time in helping me revise this book and I sincerely thank him for all his efforts. He has played a very big hand in bringing out the new edition. Another physiotherapist who helped me in revising this book is Mr Vishwanath. Apart from these, many faculty members wrote to me about the discrepancies in the first edition and helped me with making the right and necessary changes in this edition. This is their book and I thank all of them for their active support and encouragement. Dr Yogitha Bali, an Ayurvedic Surgeon and our Chief Yoga Therapist, has given lots of inputs, support and encouragement and has actively helped me in revising the book. I express my sincere gratitude to her.
I thank my wife Dr Parimala for the active help extended to me emotionally and physically in making this dream a reality. I also thank my son Rakesh and Priyanka who have been supportive to all my works. I also thank all the staff members of Parimala Health Care Services and Ebnezar Orthopedic Center who helped in compiling the data, clinical materials, manuscripts, typing, etc. I would like to specially thank Mr Ravi, my OT assistant, for the excellent photography of the clinical and surgical materials incorporated in the book.
My sincere thanks to Shri Jitendar P Vij (Chairman and Managing Director) who accepted to bring out the color version of the book. He has constantly encouraged and guided me. I would like to place on record the role played by Mr Tarun Duneja (Director-Publishing), Mr KK Raman, Mr Akhilesh Kumar Dubey, Mrs Yashu Kapoor and Mrs Samina Khan and his dedicated and efficient team for helping me bring out this edition of the book. I like to thank each one of them for bearing with me and I also thank all the people who are behind the screen but have contributed enormously for the book. The entire credit of making this book a new experience goes to them.
I thank all my teachers right from the primary school to the recent times who have made me what I am today professionally. I thank all my patients who helped me with their clinical photographs. I thank my parents for the right upbringing. I never fail to thank God for bestowing me with knowledge and life that has enabled me to bring out the third edition of this project successfully. I thank everyone who is involved with this work directly or indirectly. Looking at the list of people who have contributed in making this gargantuan task a reality, I feel humble, I felt this earlier and I always will feel so for the rest of my life.fm12
