A complete, evidence-based guide to orthopaedic evaluation and treatment
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "Key areas in orthopedics counting anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics of movement are covered, along together with a healthy dose of pathology this impacts patient function. Clinical pearls be visible in highlighted boxes throughout, and camera icons mean where video clips should be viewed. This second edition is extra comprehensive than the first. Overall, this is a valuable reference this achieves a nice balance between detailing examination and treatment. Other books tend to be limited to addressing only one of these areas, but not together. This combination makes the book distinctive." -- Doody's
