Orthopedic Principles - A Resident's Guide

The scope of orthopedic knowledge has expanded to such a degree that
it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a fundamental grasp
of the required knowledge base. This is compounded by the time
constraints on adult learning, with the student or practitioner faced
with ever-increasing demands on their time. This text is a much
needed resource of orthopedic knowledge, which will prove useful not
only to those in training but also to those faced by the ever-
increasing demands of certification and recertification examinations.
Well illustrated and organized into eight chapters extending from
basic science to every specialty of orthopedic surgery (such as hand,
foot and ankle, sports medicine, and spine) and put forward in
outline form, the reader will find it easy to locate information on a
specific subject for direct patient care, conferences or rounds, or
examination review. Alternatively, the organization of each chapter
facilitates an overall review of the subject matter. By virtue of its
succinct style of presentation, this text will prove exceedingly
useful to students and practitioners throughout the world.
