Summary: Too many errors
Review: As the other reviewer said, this book has too many errors. I reviewed the 4th edition and they are still there. In addition to factual errors, there is simply sloppy editing. I would look elsewhere for review for the shelf and step 2 until they put some additional effort into this book

Summary: I hope the errors have been corrected...
Review: I do not recommend the third edition of this book. I have not read the 4th edition yet, but the 3rd edition is chock-full of grammatical, spelling, and even FACTUAL errors that make the book less uesful than others I have found. I would advise anyone to purchase the 4th edition with caution.

Summary: No index
Review: I just wanted to warn people that the book I bought does not have an index. I went to a local bookstore, and the other books were similarly afflicted. This is a bit ridiculous for an educational book, but it seems to be consistent with the other reviews about the poor editing on this book.

Summary: Errors - Editing is poor
Review: I took the Step 2 exam last year and there were several errors. The publisher knew of these errors in the 3rd edition, but did nothing to correct them. Do not buy this book because some of the questions they asked in this book were on the exam. I was fortunate because someone told me about this about 2 weeks before the exam. If you check other surgery sources you should be fine.

Summary: excellent review of subject for the beginners
Review: This book highlights only on things that are important. To the point and accurate. This book may not be the right kind if you are looking for detail manual of surgery but if are looking for a quick review of the subject in a fruitful way for scoring good in exams, this IS the book.
