Developed by orthopaedic surgeons, paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and paediatricians, internal medicine physicians, rheumatologists, and family physicians, this newly revised edition updates the original, extremely well-received Essentials, introduced in 1997 and praised as the best book of its kind. Physicians can find quick, comprehensive guidance to more than 300 musculoskeletal conditions in the nine problem-base sections: general orthopaedics; shoulder; elbow and forearm; hand and wrist; hip and thigh; knee and lower leg; foot and ankle; spine; and paediatric orthopaedics.
