Rated for the 3rd year med student, this book has an excellent selection of orthopedic exams and accompanying illustrations. The exams start at the neck and follow the spine, limbs, and hips. There are even a few blurbs on diseases for alternate diagnoses, and a short definition of terms for each section.

Great review of Orthopedic exams and the illustrations are very good not like Netter but more like how one remembers a classic drawing. I found the artwork refreshing and easy to remember the anatomy.

This is a wonderful book. The anatomical descriptions are on point, the illustrations are well-done - I can understand what part of the body we're looking at and testing from these illustrations - and the tests are explained well. What's to complain about. I think we can disregard the review that said this book is not worth purchasing - that's crazy talk. This is a good book. It has a nice blend of textbook info with clinical know-how - it's informed and practical - a very good combination in Medicine. Also - it's probably a good idea to use this book with an eye toward a well-done Neuro exam - the author seems quite sensitive to the natural overlap of the two disciplines.

Easy to use for clinical and work.. Most of all easy to carry small and powerful
