The information is generally well organised, providing pertinent revision material for trainees … ." (John Henderson, Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Vol. 88, 2006)

"An excellent, practical, highly compressed but thick pocket book of principles. It contains much more thoughtful consideration of technical problems than is usual. Highly recommended." (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 87-b (11), 2005)

"This single-authored, concise, softcover book covers musculoskeletal injuries in adults. The purpose is to provide a concise and current curriculum for the management of orthopedic trauma which can be used by orthopedic trainees and trained orthopedists preparing for testing in musculoskeletal trauma.
