An essential guide:
A practical guide, intended for orthopaedic surgeons, to the treatment of fractures. With Xray intraoperative pictures!
Good technique repository:
Good review of surgical treatment of fractures. Several good tips on techniques and excellent pictures. A good textbook for anyone still taking fracture/trauma call.
Excellent companion for non-trauma ortho surgeon:
As a sports medicine fellowship trained Ortho, I consider this text an excellent reference when on-call. While certainly not a substitute for a fracture text, it provides an excellent quick review before big cases. It is filled with set-up tips and pitfalls. The pics are very high quality. The only negative is the price, but it is the same for all the "Masters" texts. Anyway, at least it's tax deductible!
