Customer Reviews

Great Reference Book

Very easy to use, concise advice on the most common fractures. Not a definitive ortho text, but does exactly what the title indicates. Worth the price for anyone in primary care or urgent care environments.

Awesome Book!

Again, this is an essential book, especially for the Family Practitioner just starting out. I have just graduated residency and am working alone at an Urgent Care Center, and I use this book almost every shift! Gives good, clear advice for managing the most common fractures encountered, and when (and more importantly, how quickly) to refer to ortho! Love It, worth every penny!

The BEST Ortho Reference Out There

I'm a family doctor, and I do alot of work in injury clinics and rural areas. This book is without doubt the most essential for my practice. It is concise, tells you what to look for, what to do in the acute setting, how to manage long term, and when to refer. I cannot praise this book enough. Dr. Eiff - Thanks so much for this jewel.

Fracture Management for Primary Care: 2nd Edition

As a fairly new Nurse Practitioner, I have found this book to be one of my most frequently used resources. It reviews terminology that is needed for communicating with the orthopedic specialists, as well as reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the most common fractures. The radiology pictures/x-rays are excellent for comparison and learning. I would like to see the authors incorporate highlighting or marking the x-ray examples so the novice knows exactly what they are looking at. Not all the samples are clear to the untrained eye. I highly recommend this book!

excellent organization, concise yet complete

I bought it at a sports medicine conference where all the major publishers had similar titles, and this was was the best. This one has a great "break"down of what you need to know, to refer, to treat, to watch for. Best bang for your buck especially if you have another text to complement it.
