Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Magee))

Great contribution to medical education, poor photographs
I bought this textbook together with Ferri's Clinical advisor with great enthusiasm. Though this book has fewer contributors, it offers enormous amount of information on physical assessment. Other than the reference pages at the end of each chapter, you cannot spot a ...
Tarascon Pocket Orthopaedica, Second Edition
Damian M. Rispoli
Jones & Bartlett Publishers
, 2004
an incredibly handy and useful little book
I got this manual about a year ago as a gift, and I have really gotten a lot out of it. It's filled with very useful information, and it'll save your neck on a daily basis, at least. Ever since I got it, many of the other residents in my hospital have been buying it, ...

Excellent Book
I've never written an Amazon review before, but this little book impressed me so much that other readers should share its benefits. I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and had recurring pain for two years. A string of hospitals, therapists and acupuncturists ...

Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities (Hoppenfield, Physical Examination of the Spine and ...
Stanley Hoppenfeld
Prentice Hall
, 1976
Classic, gold standard
There is only one Hoppenfeld. For what it is, it's the best. It's all diagnosis. Not a word on treatment. But it gives a good review of not just the physical exam but also the underlying anatomy and biomechanics. Two other books are worth getting. Magee's ...

Dawn, Ph.D. Gulick
F. A. Davis Company
, 2005
Exactly what we learned in class
Dawn Gulick taught Ortho to my class and this book is the best. I only wish we had it at the begining of the class. Everything she taught us was included. It is a really good reference that actually fits in your pocket. I carry it with me at clinic as a reference. It ...
Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Primer on Rheumatic Diseases (Klippel))
Springer
, 2008
Definitely worth having if you're interested in Rheumatology
In medical school, rheumatology is one of those subjects that most medical students cannot really conceptualize and end up memorizing a list of autoimmune diseases along with their specific antibodies. This book has the potential to change this view. I read this book ...
Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science)
Jon C. Thompson
Saunders
, 2001
Great for Physical therapists
This is a great, small book that can be used for quick reference when working with orthopedic patients. The pictures are small but it is not meant as a true anatomical atlas. It includes some nice x-rays, plenty of common pathological conditions and a few quick tests.
