The Musculoskeletal System at a Glance Reviews

I would recommend this book as an intelligent option for busy foundation-year doctors and medical students faced with time-critical revision. The text could also be a ready reference for conditions likely to be encountered in casualty and clinics...Considerately designed with the medical student in mind, it is compact, portable and unlikely to strain a muscle in transport. The Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine This book is a must for all orthopaedic nurses and health care professionals...The illustrations are excellent and easy to follow and include diagrams, x-rays and tables. The health care professional new to the specialty of orthopaedics will find it invaluable and the more experienced will find the breadth of coverage useful when they need to refresh their knowledge in areas they have not had recent practice in. Journal of Orthopaedic Nursing This bright and colourful book is ideal for medical students learning the essentials of rheumatology, orthopaedics and trauma in a short time. The book is literally 'at a glance' and can also be used as a set of revision notes. The diagrams and pictures enhance the text and make the book a delight to read. Medical Student, Oxford University Provide[s] students [with] all of the fundamentals for diagnosis...This is one of the best quick reference booklets for medical students that I have seen.
