Concise System of Orthopaedics and Fractures has become firmly established as the introductory account of modern orthopedics for undergraduate medical and paramedical students. The second edition will reaffirm its position as the most systematic, balanced and easy to read textbook of orthopaedics currently available.
The authors have been rigorous in their revision of the text and the book has been extensively updated without sacrificing its clarity and style. Many excellent new illustrations accompany the text and once again these have been arranged as composites to provide a clear, pictorial account of the subject and to aid revision.
Concise System of Orthopaedics and Fractures remains the outstanding textbook of orthopaedics for anyone seeking a brief account of this large subject. It is also a natural precursor to the more detailed coverage offered by its larger parent, Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures, seventh edition.
