Office Orthopedics For Primary Care Diagnosis And Treatment

The second edition of the very successfulOffice Orthopedics for Primary Care: Diagnosis and Treatment continues to provide primary care physicians with practical guidance in the management of common orthopedic conditions. This straight-forward, how-to-do-it guide explains each problem, how a typical patient will describe the discomfort, what to look for during the exam, when to request x-rays, and how to draw sound diagnosis from clinical observations. The format of the book remains the same and is divided into four sections...the most common conditions...the ten troublesome fractures...physical therapy instruction sheets...the most commonly used supports, braces and casts.
