I have readed 1st edition and this 2d edition, and I think this have not the order and hierarchy a review must have. I think there is a long way for Dr Skinner to revitalize this book for a 3rd edition as soon as possible. Maybe there are two books to see the Format : Apley’s system and Ortho ‘ review.

I find the discussion on most topics not as well organized and not in-depth enough, sometimes the discussion is inadequate while other times long-winded, makes me giddy
Poor buy

This is the best orthopedic book for the medical student or intern, it has the basics of every common orthopedic pathologies and it serves it’s purpose well, but i must recommend for the health professional to encourage reading more deeply to get true knowledge for practice, this book it’s just a brush off! a quick reminder! a guideline!. Anyway, i’m happy with my purchase and would continue to buy from lange. Thank you.

This isn’t the book I thought it would be. Too detailed when details weren’t needed. . . and too basic when details would have been helpful. There are better books out there.

I grabbed this text last time I went perusing through my university’s medical library. I found the book to be broad in scope and quite similar in format to the larger Current Diagnosis and Lange review texts. Overall, it was enjoyable to read and would definitely serve as an outstanding reference for sports medicine gurus, ortho residents and of course medical student interested in ortho. The text assumes a thorough background in anatomy. If you’re like me, you might need to keep a copy of Netter’s handy in order to get the full gist of the various pathologies if anatomy is not your strongest suite. Overall- I found the book to be very good however I was left wanting a little more in many discussions (ie: brachial plexus injuries ) and a little less in other discussions (ie: stress/strain modulus). In the future, color illustrations would greatly complement this book and would better justify the price.
