"Although there are a fair number of orthopaedic textbooks in the marketplace, I would recommend this one for its practical approach, readability and thoroughness. Being a hardback, its cost is slightly higher than its predecessor's, but it has undergone considerable expansion and, at #55, still represents very good value for money. Even the most experienced surgeon will be able to glean useful practical advice from this book."
