“This book is written for orthopedic residents, fellows, and practicing surgeons. Physician assistants and nurse practitioners might also find it useful. The multiple contributors are credible authorities in the areas in which they have written. … This is a worthwhile publication for the medical library frequented by those seeking information on orthopedic trauma who reference print matter.” (Samuel J. Chmell, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
