Up to dated , faithful and clear. Concise style 2010-07-27

By Han Sang Bin (Seoul, South Korea)

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.

Great book for PCP for quick access to fracture management 2009-12-07

By D. Fahler (Columbus, OH)

Appreciated the timeliness with which I received this book. Great reference for my future use as a general pediatrician.

Fracture Management for Primary Care 2009-08-05

By Brandon Bingham

Great text. This has helped me multiple times as the only provider available in a deployed environment in the middle East. It talks about whether orthopedic referrals are necessary in specific circumstances. It doesn't really go through the specifics of how to apply braces and step by step processes but it offers some valuable insights. If you don't have this book and you are in an environment where people will be approaching you on an emergency basis, this book is crucial.

good basic fracture book 2009-02-03

By K. Orstad (South Dakota)

I bought this in family medicine residency and still use it, though not as much. Very helpful for those less common fractures or especially helpful when you want to call the orthopedist but don't want to sound like an idiot on the phone. It assumes a primary care person can handle fractures a little more complicated than I (or my local ortho-pod) would want me to handle, but overall, the advice is very helpful. I especially like the way it breaks down length of time for each treatment, when to re-xray, etc.

Excellent Reference 2008-09-07

By Augusto F. Parcero Jr. (Pennsylvania)

I previously used earlier edition of the book. Not much of a difference. Orthopedics have their own way of dealing with fractures. This book is entirely intended for primary care providers. An excellent reference I can keep in my office. I think Essentials of MS offers more compare to this book. It features an easy to read box of what one ought to do. Highly recommended.
