Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science)

I am a physical therapist, and wanted a quick reference guide and easy way to educate patients without trekking around the huge Netter. This has some pictures, but does not include many of my favorites and most frequently used. It also has a lot of pictures of naked people. Yes, I see we're on the elbow section, why do I need a naked person next to the elbow picture? I don't care one way or the other for myself, but I found it a little awkward when showing a patient a picture and constantly having there be a naked person standing there when I'm just trying to explain knee anatomy. Not worth it for me.

I'm on my orthopedic rotation in school, and having about 10-15 min between surgeries is perfect for me to whip out this book and review the anatomy of the surgical field. Its good to review the physical exams in the clinic in between patients. It's not the end-all be-all book to study for boards, but it'll keep you from looking like a complete fool in front of the preceptor.

Excelente

I'm a surgical rep and this book has served as very nice desk guide for numerous years in my office now. Netter's Illustrations are phenomenal as always! Scope of content leaves some to be desired. Also this is a rather small reference in size, not the typical 'Large' anatomy illustrations Netter's is commonly recognized for.

Came quick and was as described

I work in Urgent Care. The book's concept is excellent. I have used the book for minor orthopedic complaints such as sprains and strains, and found it wanting. It's good for more serious injuries; having the anatomy right there for you is invaluable.

One of my favorite and most used books from residencyClear and concise pictures relevant to procedures, diagnoses, classifications, and other information critical for medical students and orthopedic residents

one of my favorite reference book for my practice. Recommend it to all my students. Easy to use for quick reference.

Excellent text book
