Reviews
Doody's Book Review Service , Mark R. Hutchinson, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine -- This is an impressive reference that I will strongly recommend for my residents and orthopedic colleagues. The list of contributors is truly impressive and includes THE experts I would ask for counsel on difficult cases. The figures and chapter design place this offering in the top tier when comparing it to other surgical texts. I will insist that our hospital and orthopedic library have it on the shelf and will recommend that we have it in the operating room as a quick reference for the residents before cases. -Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 93, 4 Stars) Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 16-JUL-08, Volume 300, Issue 3, Jonathan B. Shook, MD, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Chicago, IL -- Surgical Techniques in Sports Medicine is a concise book that provides readers with a basic understanding of the important issues related to many of the clinical issues seen in sports medicine. It also provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the surgeries used to treat those disorders. The book is directed to clinical physicians, but basic principles are dealt with as appropriate. Surgical Techniques is more concise and readable than many of the more comprehensive textbooks but provides detail regarding surgical procedures that is not equaled in a majority of the standard texts or in frequently referenced journal articles. The surgical images and line drawings found in each chapter are useful and clear. The clinical and surgical focus is pragmatic and makes this an exceedingly useful book and an excellent reference for sports medicine surgeons at any level. -Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
