Very Helpful

I am an attorney that was looking for an all inclusive Orthopedic Book and this was excellent.

Correctable errors to Make the Book more Perfect

Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics is the Bible of ortho surgeons.But there are a few errors which are repeated in the editions.As an example,in the figures for neurorhaphy the direction of vasanervosa is incorrect. They face each other as if two separate nerves are sutured with their distal ends together!If the editor is interested,I would be happy to help in correcting the numerous similar errors to make a more perfect Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics.

May be shorter...but is an important textbook...

Its is a good text for the trainee resident, but may be better and shorther, it's very wide field makes it hard to get up-date as often as possible(every 5 or less years).

Campbell's orthopaedics is a MUST for every orthopedist...

A must for the orthopaedics surgeon senior and junior. I think it is too large to be reviewed as soon as every 5 years and it seems to have hard dificulties to make the up-grades. [...]

An excellent "must have" text for Orthopedic Surgeons

This is an excellent book that covers most aspects of Orthopedic Surgery. Every general Orthopedic Surgeon or Resident should have a copy of this book at home. There is not any other up-to-date comprehensive text like this.
