Essential Reading for Ortho Interns, Residents and Techs

Essential Reading for Ortho Interns, Residents and Techs. This book was provided to orthopedic technician students in a third world country. They use it in their first year of training and it is an excellent introduction to orthopedics in a lighthearted, very readable text.

Great overview of orthopedics!

Concise, broad, and conceptual overview

Concise, broad, and conceptual overview. I read this book before my first Orthopaedic rotation as a fourth year medical student and it was a superb introduction to Orthopaedic Surgery. It is very concise and well written, and introduces key concepts and fundamental principles of Orthopaedics. As most medical students know, the best learning on clerkships comes from reading about clinical situations as they come up in real life. That said, its always helpful to have a brief introduction to the field before beginning a rotation and I thought this book had the breadth and focus on concepts to be a perfect introductory read since my medical school has little to no coverage of common MSK conditions in the curriculum. More depth can always be found on Orthobullets and in textbooks and the primary literature, but it's helpful to have a broad overview to start out.

Med school orthopedics (basic orthopedics) presented in an easy to understand format.

Med school orthopedics (basic orthopedics) presented in an easy to understand format. This book is well written and easy to follow. I'm a fan of this publishers "Clinical Pathology Made Ridiculously Simple," and I found this book to be similar in presentation. This is a good book for Medical and PA students during their orthopedic didactic curriculum, and as a review before an orthopedic rotation, but it's a little too basic to be the only book you read during your orthopedic clerkship (for clerkship, I recommend also reading Case Files Orthopaedic Surgery).This is a good book to review orthopedic concepts for board exams. It's also a good book for primary care residents and primary care mid-level providers who want to brush up on ortho.

One of the better ones

I got this book as a gift for an out-of-town doctor friend of mine who was staying with me while he was doing a rotation in orthopedics at a local hospital. My friend had some other Ridiculously Simple books so I thought it would be a fitting gift.

To make a long story short, my friend absolutely loved the book was definitely glad I had gotten it for him. Since then he's gotten other reference books, but he's said this particular book was probably one of the better ones that he's read on the subject. He said that it really easy to understand and got him up to speed in no time.

So, bottom line is if you are, or know someone, who is a doctor getting into orthopedics, I recommend you check this book out.
