Product Description
Featuring over 800 full-color illustrations, this atlas demonstrates the surgical approaches used in orthopaedics and provides a surgeon's-eye view of the relevant anatomy. Each chapter details the techniques and pitfalls of a surgical approach, gives a clear preview of anatomic landmarks and incisions, and highlights potential dangers of superficial and deep dissection. This edition has been expanded to include arthroscopic approaches to the knee and shoulder and minimal access approaches for inserting intramedullary nails into the humerus, femur, and tibia. Many illustrations have been reworked to reflect the trend toward preserving soft tissue and blood supply to bones, and most illustrations have been redone in full color.

simply magnificent November 16, 2007
A safety net for anyone performing orthopaedic procedures weather a trainee or a specialist. Great detail and points out nicely potential pitfalls in a much better and more effective way than similar books. Very expensive but money well spent
If you're in ortho you must get this. November 1, 2007
Every resident needs to get this book. Excellent information and anatomy gives you a leg up and makes you look good in the operating room.

As a fourth year orthopedic surgery resident this book has been of invaluable help in learning and reviewing the classic surgical approaches to the muskuloskeletal apparatus and its associated anatomy. Its lenguage is clear and concise, further supported by superb graphics. The fact that this book is in almost every orthopedist's library probably speaks for itself. This is an absolute must.

This is a great book with most of the surgical approaches that I've come in contact with. It combines concise descriptions of the anatomy with graphics in a nice, easy-to-access way.
The arthroscopic chapters are a little lame but the classical, exposures are simply a must for any resident that want to learn the different exposures.
When comparing, I find that the latest edition hasn't added that much to the book and I wouldn't recommend getting the latest edition unless your very into colors.
Great but very expensive book February 2, 2005

I believe all hospital libraries should hold a copy of this excellent book. The price is rather steep for an individual and therein lies my only crib against this book. I had to fork over almost a month's pay to get my copy. On to what I think of the content.
Clear descriptions aided with crisp colour drawings make most exposures a breeze. This is an ideal book to look through before stepping into the OR. It is also I believe the only effort to approach anatomy from the orthopaedic surgeon's point of view. All good.
Bottom line: Con your hospital/department to buy it for you. If they refuse to play ball, start saving because you want this one on your desk.
