Comments from current and previous editions:

"This is an excellent book for medical students to obtain basic knowledge in musculoskeletal diseases. It is well written and has excellent tables and pictures. The digital version makes it even handier and easy to go through. This update includes the many changes that have occurred in the field in the last few years."

- Dany V. Thekkemuriyil, MD (Washington University School of Medicine) Doody’s Score: 98 - 5 Stars!

At UEA this book is a godsend for the second unit of the first year. It's simple, clear and easy to understand. It covers all of the curriculum and explains it in an understandable format. I love this book!

This is another great Crash Course book. Where other topics involve detailed pathology, in many cases orthopaedics is better expressed by diagrams and Crash Course Rheumatology and Orthopaedics has lots of these - and they're very easy to understand. With concise, but yet very readable information, this book gives a good base to build orthopaedic knowledge. I would recommend it to anyone who can't tell their Smith's from their Colles.
