The book provides an outstanding review of all major topics relevant to rheumatology. It is definitely a book worth keeping close by for anyone training in rheumatology. Doody's Reviews

Review from previous edition For those whose orthopaedic shelves are well-weighted, there will be probably still a gap for this most valuable source of all those conditions which are not to be found in orthopaedic texts, but which present in predominant numbers to every orthopaedic clinic...here is a book shorn of obscure phrases, giving clear descriptions of every condition causing pain in limbs, the physical signs required to make the diagnosis and a sceptical analysis of each as an entry ... essential reading for everyone in surgical orthopaedics. * Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol 89-B * Review from previous edition ... offers a welcome addition to the practitioner's library because of its handy, pocket-sized format... a practical, clinically-oriented guide that can be rapidly and easily consulted. * Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology * Review from previous edition This is invaluable to anyone who is new to the specialty, or who sees occasional rheumatic problems ... It is essentially the first concise but readable text outlining how to evaluate commonly presenting rheumatic complaints that I have come across, which as a trainee I found practically very useful. Hence I unreservedly recommend this book to general practitioners, certainly junior doctors training in rheumatology and indeed any physician with an active interest in the specialty. * Rheumatology * Review from previous edition This is a comprehensive pocket size text that no self-respecting healthcare professional working in this field should be without. * Nursing Standard * The book provides an outstanding review of all major topics relevant to rheumatology. It is definitely a book worth keeping close by for anyone training in rheumatology. * Doody's Reviews * This is an indispensible, comprehensive and extremely practical guide and reference tool and would be a valuable companion for everyone dealing with patients with musculoskeletal disease. * Orthopaedic Product News *

[The book] is a comprehensive and extremely practical guide and a valuable companion to any health professional working in rheumatology...[I] would highly recommend this pocket guide to both trainees and qualified practitioners with an interest in the speciality. * British Health Professionals in Rheumatology * The text is clear and didatic and concentrates mainly on the clinical aspects of the discipline. Cross reference is made to the main textbook where appropriate. About 50% of the book relates to presentation of rheumatic disease and the rest to clinical features of specific conditions. The tables are clear and well produced and should provide good aide memoirs. * Amazon Review * The book provides an outstanding review of all major topics relevant to rheumatology.
