Summary: A comprehensive summary of most orthopaedic topics.
Review: A very good review handbook. However, it is not very suitable for fresh readers who do not have basic knowledge of the concerned topics. Excellent for revision before examination to check if there is any "hollows".

Summary: Review of Orthopaedics (Miller 4th ed)
Review: Absolutely outstanding!!! An indispensible review of a very broad and detail oriented topic. Absolutely crucial for the upcoming boards. The updated Sports Medicine chapter was a complete bonus with exquisite attention paid to sports injuries of the upper extremity (an often ignored topic). Congrats to Miller on assembling an excellent team of authors.

Summary: never met a comprehensive book on orthopaedics like this!
Review: After so many years spent studying orthopaedics and leafing thru books of all sorts,it's the first time I come across a book I eventually feel I can tell my young trainees they MUST have a copy of. I am looking forward to see the latest edition. Since I am a translator, I would like to have this book translated into my language so as everyone in Italy interested can have it.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I am a chief resident in orthopaedic surgery currently studying for my written board exam. As I have read through this text I have been consistently surprised by the number of blantant mistakes and inaccuracies, especially since this is the SECOND edition. Example: anatomy of ulnar nerve at the wrist p. 544--absosutely wrong; several of the anatomy diagrams have no lables (which were included in the 1st edition); many non-sense sentences such as under discussion of the patella: "Somewhat triangular in shape, the apex of the patella gives rise to the patella, and they fuse sometime between the second and sixth year of life." It reads as though is was written by a medical student instead of "the most reliable experts in the field" as touted on the cover. Not worth the [money].

Summary: A Review is Just a Review
Review: I am a military flight surgeon applying to Orthopaedic Surgery residencies this fall. I bought this book to help give me an overview of current practice. The book covers basic sciences and all of the subspecialties comprehensively and concisely in outline format. Diagrams are minimal and crude but they do adequately support to text. Because it is a REVIEW book, it does not try to teach basic information to the reader; it is assumed that you are a knowledgeable orthopaedic practitioner. I found that, even as a practicing physician, I needed to review my anatomy and orthopaedics at a more basic level in order to get the most out of this book. I was able to quickly identify some of my weaknesses and, more importantly, become more fluent with orthopaedic jargon. I no longer rely on this book for my basic source material. Instead, I am concentrating on reading the classic orthopaedic texts for my primary education -- I will rely on this book as a REVIEW only. In that capacity it earns its five star review.

Summary: "THEorthopaedic review text"
Review: I found this book to be a concise review of the main testable areas in orthopedics. It was up to date, comprehensive for a review text, and doesn't get lost in the untestable details we have to listen to on rounds. I think it helped me pass my written boards. This is THE Orthopaedic review test to stay prepared.

Summary: Orthopedics for primary care
Review: I have recently become a nurse case manager for Worker's Comp and find this book to be a very excellent resource for common orthopedic injuries. The information is presented in a quick easy format.

Summary: An excellent book to be up-date in orthopaedics
Review: I like this much more than the big "orthopaedics: study guide", it is easy and very readeable. All we the orthopaedist need it for beeing up-date, and the residents for being in charge at the E.R.
