Book Reviews of Fracture Management for Primary Care: 2nd Edition

Book Review: Up to dated , faithful and clear. Concise style
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a pain medicine doctor and also cover ER sometimes.
I read about half of entire book. Sentence was written in concise style and easy to get,also chapter was well systemized so that you can read it very fast with no miss. 'Anatomic consideration' part that always appear first of each chapter is really brilliant and fascinating. Surely I'm already very familliar with musculoskeletal anatomy, but this book gives me additional something. Figures or illustrates inserted was painted faithfully. No coarsness. Image guality is excellent, too.

'Indication of Orthopedic referral' part is maybe the pearl of this book and the reason many primary care doctor want this book. Yes, also this part was well made. Clearly, you can get to know in a min whether you should transfer a patient or not.

'Treatment' part is enough to make you a competent and sincere doctor, although it takes no long time to read it up
Treatment option is up to dated. For example writters know that ICNB or Epidural block is help ful in the case of rib fracture. And 'treatment of Spondylolysis' part makes it more reliable. (Some books are tend to be too sure about controversial facts)

It's well made and recommandable but not huge. I mean that I think abundunt US or MRI images are out of this book.
This book is based on plain image. Someone could feel something lacking cause these days US is spreading it's field in Muskuloskeletal diagnosis. I also love US, but look at the 'Bianchi book' ! I guess writter didn't want to weigh heavy pressure on your shoulder. This book should be fast, clear and concise.
