Sue's Review

This book is in excellent shape. The delivery was fast and I am sure I will use it for many years to come.

Excellent!

I use Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words book every day with my work and am so thankful I have it as a fast and reliable reference. I have had other Orthopaedic reference books but do not use them anymore as Stedman's is the most comprehensible and thorough. It is next to me when I work and never have to worry if I need to check on a word. Stedman's are the only reference books in my library now.

An Absolute Must Have!

This book is an absolute must have for any MT! I refer to this book several times a day and would be lost without it!

very helpful

I do orthopedic reports daily and this is very helpful to me. I would recommend it to transcriptionists.

Words, not definitions

The use of the Stedman's word books, this being only one of many, is primarily for those in medical transcription and others (medical authors, editors, proofreaders, etc.) who need an authoritative source on correct spelling and terminology. This is the stated intent of these books, as is clearly spelled out in the foreword of all Stedman's books. This seems important for me to mention here, as at least one reviewer of this book seemed disappointed that there isn't more information.As a transcriptionist, I assure you that the several hundred pages of cross-referenced terms here are very, very useful in correct transcription of medical dictation. This section includes musculoskeletal terms and rehab terms, which are exactly its stated contents. As usual, Stedman's succeeds beautifully in providing an exhaustive collection of terms relating to the areas of interest presented in this book.
