Review of Orthopaedics (Miller 4th ed)

Absolutely outstanding!!! An indispensible review of a very broad and detail oriented topic. Absolutely crucial for the upcoming boards. The updated Sports Medicine chapter was a complete bonus with exquisite attention paid to sports injuries of the upper extremity (an often ignored topic). Congrats to Miller on assembling an excellent team of authors.

A treasure to UP-DATE the general orthopaedics knowledge...

There are some books, maybe very few, that make orthopaedics practice easier, this is one of them, you may read it every day or night when resting, while fishing or camping. One may take a subject: giant cell tumor, and in few moments remember the main points; or know new things in few minutes as when see the Chevron' s procedure for some hallux valgus. This is a current procedure in USA, but was not used in latinamerican countries since 25 years ago, and now it returns...and so on... if you have Campbell's or Chapman's then you need this book.

A Review is Just a Review

I am a military flight surgeon applying to Orthopaedic Surgery residencies this fall. I bought this book to help give me an overview of current practice. The book covers basic sciences and all of the subspecialties comprehensively and concisely in outline format. Diagrams are minimal and crude but they do adequately support to text. Because it is a REVIEW book, it does not try to teach basic information to the reader; it is assumed that you are a knowledgeable orthopaedic practitioner. I found that, even as a practicing physician, I needed to review my anatomy and orthopaedics at a more basic level in order to get the most out of this book. I was able to quickly identify some of my weaknesses and, more importantly, become more fluent with orthopaedic jargon. I no longer rely on this book for my basic source material. Instead, I am concentrating on reading the classic orthopaedic texts for my primary education -- I will rely on this book as a REVIEW only. In that capacity it earns its five star review.

never met a comprehensive book on orthopaedics like this!

After so many years spent studying orthopaedics and leafing thru books of all sorts,it's the first time I come across a book I eventually feel I can tell my young trainees they MUST have a copy of. I am looking forward to see the latest edition. Since I am a translator, I would like to have this book translated into my language so as everyone in Italy interested can have it.

"THEorthopaedic review text"

I found this book to be a concise review of the main testable areas in orthopedics. It was up to date, comprehensive for a review text, and doesn't get lost in the untestable details we have to listen to on rounds. I think it helped me pass my written boards. This is THE Orthopaedic review test to stay prepared.
