A ER intern's review

As a 1st year ER resident, I picked this book up to supplement my knowledge on basic musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries. The text does a wonderful job of illustrating proper physical exam skills, as well as covering a broad range of injuries commonly found in the ED. The specific topics are concise and in depth in terms of diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions. However, I felt the general orthopedics section didn't contain any new information that a fourth year medical student hasn't already covered at some point. And I was somewhat disappointed in the treatment and red flag sections on each condition, as I felt they were much too brief. That being said, I was happy with my purchase and have learned a great deal in diagnosing the various MSK conditions found in the ED, while supplementing treatment options with other texts.

Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care

I am working in an Orthopaedic office as a Nurse Practitioner and find this book to be an invaluable reference, particularly for assessing specific areas I am less familiar with.

Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care

If you're going to be in practice, you had better own this book. Every general practice physician I know owns this book, and every mid-level provider ought to have one, as well. Concise, easy to read/understand, discusses complaints by body region, includes IDC-9 codes.

Excellent musculoskeletal book

I am a first year physician assistant student. As a student, this is an excellent resource to have. It is very organized and easy to read. Unlike other books where you have to look/search for information, this book lists definitions of the syndrome, clinical symptoms, and tests: physical and diagnostic, differential diagnosis, treatment, and then additional home exercises all in order. Highly recommend it...one of my favorite books

Great resource for family practice

I am a recent graduate from a family practice residency. I used this book in residency and ordered one soon thereafter to use in my own practice. The patient exercise handouts on the CD are excellent.
