 A little disappointing July 18, 2008
I thought that this book would be as great as its adult emergency partner of the same series, however, eventhough it contains some good information , I have not actually found the need to consult it in the shift. The knowledge in it is not too bad, but not as helpful as I thought when I decided to buy it initially. It is ok , not a bad item to have, but if you don't, you won't miss it.
 It is a very good POCKET book November 12, 2006

Tarascon Pocket Orthopaedica initially looks like another attempt at fitting both useful and trivia information (which the bosses seemed to always ask even though its trivia) in your pocket; except it IS thin and small enough for most pockets and it is full of ORGANISED data.
While certainly not for exams or sorts, I use it for the 5 minutes break in between cases and a quick lookup on anatomical stuff (I really like the muscle lists). And you don't have to buy battries or worry about sitting on it (seen too many palm pilot lost on bums)
an incredibly handy and useful little book June 7, 2003

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, and the consensus is that it can make your life a whole lot easier. The anatomy section is probably one of the most consulted ones, with a very good table with the origin and insertion of every muscle in the body, along with innervation. Of course, the handbook isn't really complete, as there are many omissions, especially in orthopaedic ailments. The trauma section is quite good, but there are many fracture classifications missing.
Obviously, no handbook of this size can ever include every single item you'll need at one point or another, but this one does a good job of covering all the bases, and it's a tool no ortho resident will want to go without (and probably many attendings, as well)
A great pocket reference! November 6, 2002
