Orthopedics Made Ridiculously Simple
Also available on
Description
A brief, clear overview of clinical orthopedics, including diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic emergencies and relevant clinical signs “no one should miss.” Chapters address the upper and lower limbs, the axial skeleton, systemic conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, and common pediatric conditions. Each topic is covered with regards to the relevant anatomy, clinical approach, and specific problems not to be overlooked. Excellent for medical students and interns, PA’s, nurses and nurse practitioners.
