The second edition of the very successful "Office Orthopedics for Primary Care: Diagnosis and Treatment" continues to provide primary care physicians with practical guidance in the management of common orthopedic conditions. This straight-forward, how-to-do-it guide explains each problem, how a typical patient will describe the discomfort, what to look for during the exam, when to request x-rays, and how to draw sound diagnosis from clinical observations. The format of the book remains the same and is divided into four sections: the most common conditions; the ten troublesome fractures; physical therapy instruction sheets; and the most commonly used supports, braces and casts.
