A Practical Approach to Orthopaedic Medicine: Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment - Febuary 2010 Edition
In the new third edition of this popular multidisciplinary text,
Elaine Atkins, Jill Kerr and Emily Goodlad continue to advance the field
of orthopaedic medicine. Always inspired by the work of Dr James
Cyriax, this edition, renamed “A Practical Approach to Orthopaedic
Medicine”, updates techniques and incorporates recent research
discoveries into the text. There are also self assessment tasks to test
your understanding of orthopaedic medicine on EVOLVE, an online
electronic learning solution site designed to work alongside textbooks
to stimulate clinical reasoning and to enhance learning. The
introductory chapters deal with the principles of orthopaedic medicine,
with the following chapters taking the clinician through the practice of
orthopaedic medicine joint by joint. This edition includes:
substantially revised chapters; extended evidence-based commentaries
underpinning indications and contraindications to treatment of spinal
lesions; expanded critique of the treatment of peripheral joints
including recent advances in the approach to tendinopathy; clearly
described and illustrated injection and manual techniques; a new page
layout for easy navigation; and, a foreword by Monica Kesson. “A
Practical Approach to Orthopaedic Medicine” is a complete reference
source that provides the most up-to-date principles and practice for
students and postgraduate medical practitioners, physiotherapists and
other allied health professionals, including podiatrists and osteopaths.
