Simple and Complex Fractures of the Humerus

From the book reviews: "This book represents an attractive concept in the age of information technology that allows easy Internet access to almost all data. ... This book is written for practitioners and residents who want detailed information on humeral fractures in general, or on a specific fracture. ... it is a potentially useful addition to an academic medical library that wants to be complete, and where the medical librarian identifies that medical personnel are using books as reference sources." (Samuel J. Chmell, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2015)
