National Boards Gold

Love this book. Each primary topic gives a paragraph on clinical description of the condition, muscles/nerves/connective tissue which may be involved, a box describing signs and symptoms of the condition, then illustrations of the anatomy involved. Each primary topic is followed with palpation instructions for the regional anatomy, range of motion measurements, then neurological or orthopaedic exams describing the procedure of the exam, the rationale behind it, its sensitivity/reliabilty, and photographs of the assessment being performed.

Orthopaedic Review

A very complete text. However the format is not perfect for study review purposes. There is a lot of wasted space in the text with notes on the left and diagrams and tables on the right and following pages. Sometimes when your scanning, reviewing,you have to flip back and forth to see which diagrams relate to which topic. Other than that it is a fine text. Razz

It's an excellent book.
