Overview
A rapid reference guide to the approach and management of orthopaedic emergencies, this book provides quick differential diagnosis and treatment guidance for the emergency physician and orthopaedic resident and trainee.

Reviews
<br> This offering is among the best in its efficiency, ease of use, and completeness. I think it would be a great gift for most orthopedic and emergency room programs to give to their first year residents as they get started on the floors or in the ER. It also can serve as a great quick reference for primary care sports physicians who would appreciate an extra boost of confidence when treating patients with musculoskeletal injuries. -- Mark R.
