From the reviews of the third edition: "This is the third edition of a book that has become a standard textbook on trauma, since its first edition in 1990. Rare are books that reach that level of expectation. ... This attractive and superbly illustrated book gives a modern approach to fracture management and is a practical guide to decision-making in fracture treatment ... . This book is a major reference work in an orthopaedic library, a refreshing course for the mature surgeon or a basic investment for the younger colleague." (C. Delloye, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 72 (1), 2006)
