Shortcut to Orthopaedics: What's Common and What's Important for Canadian Students and Primary Care Physicians

This accessible guide provides essential orthopaedic knowledge for medical students and non-orthopaedic physicians. Dr. Robert Perlau draws upon more than 20 years of teaching experience to present the most common and important orthopaedic topics a primary care provider will encounter, without the overload of information found in most orthopaedic textbooks.

Students and physicians will improve their diagnostic skills, enhance their ability to communicate orthopaedic findings to colleagues, and learn common technical procedures useful in primary care orthopaedics. Photos and X-ray images highlight key principles throughout the text.
