5.0 out of 5 stars Clean, straightforward, excellent
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013

Wonderful book. As a physician assistant student, I wanted something to more strongly supplement my ortho education, and this book does an outstanding job of it. The layout is smart and intuitive by body region, and the graphical content is a very solid mix of illustrations, diagrams and photo & radiology images. The physical book itself is large, but benefits from having a pleasant and easy-to-read layout that is consistently formatted throughout the book. This isn't a book that goes tremendously in-depth on topics (it *is* called "Essentials..."), but is a very accessible resource for generalists or even for ortho folks that want a great book on fundamentals (esp. thinking of you fellow mid-level practitioners out there). I will say that in terms of raw information, there are on-line resources that match or exceed what's available in the book... However, I don't think any of them are as high-yield and well-laid-out as Essentials.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource! But only in the Hardcopy

I was warned (and thankfully so) by a good friend to NOT purchase the Kindle Edition of this text. There is quite a bit of extras that are omitted, including the online access to all of the content and videos of the various tests if you purchase the electronic version. All that aside, this book is so easy to read, it provides great insight and is very accessible (if only it weren't so darned heavy to lug around)

I am a PA student going into primary care. I love ortho and came across this book online with its great reviews. Once I took my ortho module, and I got to use this book I realized how amazing it is! It explains things simply and has GREAT visuals. No regrets buying this. I am sure I will use it throughout the rest of my career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great text.

This is an excellent text, whether you are a medical student, resident or an attending looking for a quick reference.

In particular, I really liked the CD with the physical exam maneuvers - very useful for teaching students and residents (and brushing up on old skills).

The only drawback that I can see is this book weighs a TON. It's not practical to lug it back and forth from home to the office.

Definite buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great MSK Reference Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2010

I'd say this is thee comprehensive I've used in the primary care setting. I remember all the physicians, NPs, and PAs that I've worked with all had this book in their office as a reference. Now that Amazon Kindle for iPad has been updated to be more "user friendly" with more features to easily navigate through the ipad, I decided on the Kindle version. I tried the sample version and liked it. I waited and good thing I did, the price came WAY down for the kindle version as it should since we are not paying for the physical book itself, which saves trees! Also, its easier on your back if you have to carry it around as a reference book to campus and stuff. I love this book, I used it to help me perform procedures correctly with my preceptor supervising.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Primary Care & Beginner Ortho
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2014

Useful for basic diagnosis and patient education. I also utilize the PDF home rehab program handouts daily.

However, if you are in Orthopedic specialty, this is not the go-to desk reference. It does not provide detaisl like sprain grades, classifications, or details in recommended. (ex: Achilles rupture treatment, book says "gradual casting or bracing in plantar flexion". It does not give a timeline or pearls/pitfulls or indications for surgery. If you are looking for quick and skinny Orthopedic desk reference, I love my 5-minute Orthopedic Consult book.
