A concise guide to orthopaedic examination for junior doctors and medical students.

• Introduction. Spine. Shoulder and elbow. Hand and wrist. Hip and pelvis. Knee. Foot and ankle. Paediatric patients. Rarer conditions (eg Paget's disease, neurofibromatosis, ankylosing spondylitis etc).

I thought that this book was excellent. It is small enough to take onto the wards and yet manages to provide you with all the essential information for a joint examination...I would definitely recommend this book.
