4 Stars! "This is the fourth edition of a multi-authored overview of trauma and surgical critical care. It is produced by the Parkland Health system which is internationally known for injury management. The book pays careful attention to detail and includes multicolored drawings. Illustrations, radiographs, and line drawings have been refined since the previous edition. [It] is an effective trauma and injury management tool for trainees and senior practitioners in neurological surgery, orthopedics, and general surgery. The quality of content included in this latest edition is a clear indication of its effective updates.... By including a variety of illustrations, references, tables, and specifically selected line drawings, the book offers an effective tool for readers at all levels of sophistication. This compact tool remains an effective guide for surgical clinicians and intensivists.... Given the updated breadth of its content, use of this handbook can be readily recommended." Review by David Dries, MSE, MD (Regions Hospital), ©Doody's Review Service, 2026. Doody's Score: 91, 4 Stars!Review of the previous edition:"I think the residents and the surgical faculty involved in the production of this handbook are to be congratulated. It is well done and is a worthwhile addition to the library of any department and to the personal library of any emergency physician or resident." -Annals of Emergency Medicine, review of previous edition
