Principles of Hand Surgery and Therapy

Summary: Too many typos to be useful
Review: I am an orthopedic surgery resident. I have used this book during our academic conferences for 2 years and have become extremely frustrated with it.

It is filled with errors--and not just negligible spelling or punctuation errors! Too often there is a typo (I presume) with the wrong bone/wrong tendon/wrong direction. Furthermore, the technical descriptions of operative procedures is absent or lacking.

While it is a decent book for review of general concepts if you know enough to recognize the errors, I do not feel that it is dependable enough or deep enough to use once I enter private practice.
