Campbell's Operative Orthopedics

Rating:
Summary: Campbell's orthopaedics is a MUST for every orthopedist...
Review: A must for the orthopaedics surgeon senior and junior. I think it is too large to be reviewed as soon as every 5 years and it seems to have hard dificulties to make the up-grades. [...]

Summary: Correctable errors to Make the Book more Perfect
Review: Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics is the Bible of ortho surgeons.But there are a few errors which are repeated in the editions.As an example,in the figures for neurorhaphy the direction of vasanervosa is incorrect. They face each other as if two separate nerves are sutured with their distal ends together!

If the editor is interested,I would be happy to help in correcting the numerous similar errors to make a more perfect Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics.

Summary: This text must be revised and make it shorter, for better...
Review: Is a good book, but it is 1-very large and editions are very long one to the other. 2- very expensive to be changed as often as desirable. 3- Canale must make a "Campbell's year book" as an apendix. Any way is a book every one in orthopaedics need at least for the beginning.

Summary: May be shorter...but is an important textbook...
Review: Its is a good text for the trainee resident, but may be better and shorther, it's very wide field makes it hard to get up-date as often as possible(every 5 or less years).

Summary: This book is very large and the up-date is bad and...
Review: The Campbell's was a good book when it was just 2 volumes, but with 4 volumens it has became a very large and hard to up-date book, it was better when editor was Crenshaw, but with Canale it has became a "heavy" book. I personally don't like it for my residents fellows, they buy the Mercer and the Apley's, and for surgical exposures the Hoppenfeld's. It must become a 2 volumes book, getting the 6th ed. as a sample, and maybe Canale will make a "campbell's yearbook".

Rating:
Summary: An excellent "must have" text for Orthopedic Surgeons
Review: This is an excellent book that covers most aspects of Orthopedic Surgery. Every general Orthopedic Surgeon or Resident should have a copy of this book at home. There is not any other up-to-date comprehensive text like this.

Rating:
Summary: Maybe its firts editions where better than now.
Review: When there was not internet and other media at hand, this was a classical textbook, but now there are more readeable textbooks in orthopaedics, and we can find them in amazon.This is a text for orthopaedics surgeons but is very large to be up-dated as soon as it has to be, and its price makes it a very expensive book for latin american fellows. Could be cheaper...and shorter.
