Customer Reviews

Fabulous review of MSK

This is a great book. I almost didn't purchase it b/c as a "starving student," I try to avoid purchasing expensive textbooks. But this book is fabulous. It reviews everything you have to know in an organized and succinct matter.

A much needed reference book for all doctors

This is a much needed, remarkably thorough, and illuminating survey of musculoskeletal medicine. Dr. Bernstein is clear, thoughtful, and insightful. I find it incredibly useful and predict it will become the bible for everyone practicing in this area. I highly recommend it.

Stunning

This is an excellent review of musculoskeletal medicine -- it focuses on all aspects of the care of patients with musculoskeletal problems from their medical management to their post-opeartive care. Furthermore, the text delves into the basic sciences and the background regarding the manifestations of these disorders. A must read for medical students, orthopaedic residents, primary care physicains, nurse practioners, trainers, etc etc ... this book impacts anyone who works with patients.

Brilliant! A Must Read for All Medical Students.

Dr. Bernstein, one of the most accomplished teachers (and practitioners) of orthopedic medicine, has amassed a very useful and insightful text on musculoskeletal medicine. It is the first of its kind; before its publication and widespread adoption by medical schools this year, medical education only encompassed a high-level overview of orthopedics. This book is indispensable to any medical education; indeed, medical training without this invaluable resource is incomplete. Consumers who are interested in the subject of orthopedics and sports medicine will also find this book to be truly accessible and a welcome addition to their bookshelves. One more word: Dr. Bernstein, a professor of orthopedics at a well respected medical school, isn't just interested in theory. His text is written in an cheerful manner and blooms with useful diagnostic information that makes his subject come to life.Buy it!
