Customer Reviews: Mediocre text Not the best. It's not bad for an intern, but as a resident I didn't find it particularly helpful.
Excellent resource This is an excellent resource to have. I carry it and Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis around with me. I also use Hoppenfeld for physical exam. And I think that Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care is a good reference book as well. The Orthopedic Intern Pocket Survival Guide is also good for medical students.
Great Book Dr. Ochiai has crafted a very useful and entertaining book. It has been insightful on my clinical rotations in New York. In addition, all the ortho interns carry it in their pocket. It's a great purchase.
