5 Stars! "This ninth edition simply brings to current the leading, most efficient, and most used orthopedic review book by residents-in-training and orthopedic surgeons preparing for written recertification. [It] continues to offer upgraded images, efficiency, tables, and content with every new edition, keeping it on the leading edge of the competition. The book’s singular goal is to enhance the education of orthopedic surgeons across the world, which complements the original purpose of the book’s founding author -- to simply create a body of knowledge that would help in pass his board exam,... a great, efficient reference to use between big tests. Non-orthopedic specialists will similarly find it a quick and efficient reference for the fundamentals of orthopedic surgery.... remains the king of the jungle in relation to all other exam prep books in orthopedics. It is efficient, well-focused on high-value topics for exam questions, and well-designed with bullet point structure and some of the best quick reference figures and tables I have ever seen."
