 Resident Reviewed February 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am an orthopaedic surgery resident and have owned or read most of the ortho exam books out there (including the always popular Hoppenfeld's). This book is by far the most inclusive of any of them, as it contains not only the most up to date exam manuvers and their meaning but also gives insight into the pathology. Furthermore, almost every disease state and every exam maneuver is illustrated with pictures. Overall the best ortho exam book out there (Hoppenfelds was written in 1976.....it doesnt contain any of the exam tests that are performed in everyday sports clinics). Would highly recommend it to any health care provider.

I've read the book several times before our Licensure Examination and it's pretty amazing how it clarify my minds regarding the assessment of orthopedic conditions.I recommend it to all students who are still reviewing for the coming examination(wherever).
Physician Assistant Orthopedic exams made easy October 6, 2000
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
As a new Physician Assistant Graduate I had to get up to speed fast when I accepted a postion with a large orthopedic group. This Book was a life saver, not only did it go over the basic anatomical postions, it covered flextion, extension, etc. all the basics were covered. The book goes on to explain why the test is done, what a positive test reveals and how to determine if it's really valid. The author even provides tests designed to reveal Patients who fake injuries and tests designed to help pin point what and where the actual pain and problem orginates. All areas of this in depth book are covered well. Photographs aid the practioner with each topic and exam, photographs are labeled to eliminate guesses and each portion of the body is contained within it's own chapter. This is a book designed for the Orthopedic practitionar.
