Customer Reviews

Should be given to every Orthopedic patient before discharge

After surgery for a badly broken leg and a week in the hospital, I was discharged and went home. Trying to learn to use crutches on my own and understanding the practical details of getting around occupied much of my time. This book is so practical, well written and clearly illustrated that it should be provided by all hospitals in the US to all orthopedic patients several days before hospital discharge, or at the first visit to an outpatient clinic. Why this book is not a "standard issue" item for all patients is a mystery to me. The book is absolutely excellent!

Helpful and well laid out

This book is very well organized; truly helpful for dealing with my daughter's broken leg (crutches for six weeks)

Excellent resource for recovery and rehabilitation

Well written, very practical, useful book. Buy it BEFORE you go in for surgery so you can have it with you from the beginning.

Bought for Mom facing Hip Replacement Surgery

Bought if for her a week before hip replacement surgery; helped her self confidence and preparedness immensely (she brought it with her to the hospital and rehab).

Great Gift for Patient

Very very practical ... tells you tips and tricks you would never think of. It is a book you don't think you need until you read it!!Give it to anyone you know who is facing knee, hip, foot surgery ... they will be forever grateful!
