Add to this the time constraints of adult learning with the student or practitioner faced with ever increasing demands on their time. This text is a much needed resource of orthopaedic knowledge which will prove useful not only to those in training but also to the ever increasing demand of certification and recertification examinations. Well illustrated and organized into eight chapters extending from basic science to every specialty of orthopaedic surgery including hand, foot and ankle, sports medicine and spine just to name a few with information provided 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 on overall review of the subject matter. By virtue of its succinct style of presentation of information, this text will prove to be most useful to students and practitioners throughout the world.
