I have found this book to be surprisingly thorough for a "handbook." It is easy to glean information from, which is a must for me in my busy practice as a PA.

Many important topics in this book are presented not in a cutting edge manner and the stuff can easily be found in all standard text; Newest topics in trauma like minimal invasive surgery, computer aided surgery, new AO thinking that everyone doing trauma is talking about these days not covered or grossly inadequate I have 2 juniors who used to work with one of the authors, they told me there is a great discrepancy between what that author claims he would do in his little text, as compared to his actual practice in real life. I hope this is not the case, but if it is, readers will not be pleased Mediocre work at most

well below expectations by F. Yue (Asia)

This book in many areas are too dogmatic with lack of explanation Important key topics like new plating systems, ilizarov, newer EF, CAOS, periprosthetic # have either been not discussed or done too inadequately May be good only for medical students
