Orthopaedic Dictionary-1판

A master surgeon and scholar have created the first true reference for the increasingly complex field of orthopaedic
surgery arranged in easy-to-find, item-by-item alphabetical sequence. Every term--anatomic, surgical, instrumental,
eponymic--used in contemporary orthopaedics is defined from the surgeon's point of view. Over 1,000 explanatory line
drawings clarify the terms. An excellent preparatory tool for residents who must define terms as part of the AAOS
fellowship exam.

Dennis Mess
This is a dictionary of orthopedic terminology and its usage. The purpose is to transmit orthopedic terminology in a
concise and orderly manner. Those finding this book most helpful will include physicians, nurses, medical students,
lawyers, physical and occupational therapists, medical secretaries, and insurance personnel. The main features are its
extensive lexicon and helpful illustrations. This is a very nice reference source. I expect it to get frequent
consultation by all of the target audience. No one can skim through this book without increasing their knowledge and
vocabulary.
