“This is by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly text for both professor and student! I am continuing to use it in my Athletic Training Program, and beginning next year, I will institute it into my PT courses in Ortho I & II.” —Vincent J.

The 3rd Edition of this popular work has been completely revised and updated to bring you all of the field’s most current knowledge in an even easier-to-use new design. Its superb combination of detailed illustrations and precise language make even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear. Organized by body region, each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries.

As a student, I like textbooks with critical thinking questions within the chapters, at the end of the chapters, etc. This book doesn't have that.HOWEVER, what I really, really, really like about this book is the pictures for the palpations. They show paplations for each body part laterally, medially, anteriorly, and posteriorly. I think that's awesome.I don't plan on getting rid of this book, but I may find something to complement it.
If I could give this book zero stars I would. This is ABSOLUTELY the WORST book I have EVER purchased!! So many errors in this text!!! Basic things like getting cardinal planes wrong, contradicting itself from one page to the next, incorrectly describing special tests. For a student who has no ortho background knowledge, you would take this book as the holy grail. But once you realize how often errors are made and on such simple things, it's difficult to take anything as facts. It's organized well and easy to read. That's the only pro, but 20- 30% inaccurate!!
It's got some good information in it but is rife with inaccuracies. My professor literally had to take 15 minutes last class to point out and correct the errors just in 200 pages so we wouldn't be studying the wrong information for our exam.I don't know if it's just me, but the authors also use odd sentence structure sometimes. There is about a sentence ever couple pages I have to read a few time just to get the meaning of. An example from page 86,"Assessment of a joint's ligamentous integrity often requires the use of imaging techniques, during which stress is applied to a joint to measure the amount of laxity, a stress radiograph (Figs. 5.3 and 5.4)."It conveys the information but could be written clearer. Not a terrible book but I wish my program used a better one.
This book is required for a class. It was exactly the book I needed. If you're just reading for leisure, then it's good, but not very well organized. The injuries aren't classified as well as they could be.
This book is perfect for me because I am an Athletic Training student. If you need to review anatomy, special tests, and palpations you should consider purchasing it.
This book is absolutely neccessary for anyone considering going into athletic training or even sports medicine. It is a great read and has almost everything you would want to know in it. It'll be a great help when it comes time to take the board of certification to become an athletic trainer.
This book is good for helping to diagnose an injury and tells you how to preform special tests on a patient but does not elaborate much on how to treat them
Great book
