 Military Doc's must have it March 9, 2000

As a Flight Surgeon in the Army, I have traveled with this text from Korea to Bosnia. It is a must have for anyone in Primary care and especially military physicians on deployments, where Orthopedic surgeons are hard to come by. It is a clear, consice treatment based book. Which guides you through the physical examination, diagnosis and managment of common orthopedic problems. In particular it lets you know what the red flags are for further evaluation and consultation. Truly Magnificent!
Excellent text for primary care November 7, 1997

After dismissing many books over the years as unsuitable for primary care for various reasons, my orthopedic colleagues at Group Health asked me to review this text as the one book which they have found which provides a comprehensive, well illustrated, clinically appropriate source for primary care. I was not disappointed. I found a useful book which provided the information I needed to know about the common musculoskeletal presentations in primay care,and sufficient information and caution about the less common ones. I was particularly impressed by the pediatric section, but as I used the index to look up the common diagnoses, I found that the information the book provided was appropriate for a wide range of conditions. The photographs and illustrations are consistent and readable. The information about primary care office management and the details of exam, splinting, exercise, and injection techniques is thorough This book provides a good textbook review of the subject and a useful, ready reference for the office bookshelf. I would therefore recommend it for primary care.
The best primary care orthopedic text on the market June 16, 1999

Straightforward, to-the-point, very relevant for the busy outpatient clinic. My other orthopedic texts are collecting dust. Worth every penny. The only criticism I have of the text is their scanty, incomplete coverage of osteoporosis. This section is too cursory and out-of-date. It barely addresses densiometry and doesn't mention newer therapies such as alendronate in the treatment of osteoporosis. The emergence of alendronate predates the publication of this volume by at least 2 years so advancing medical science is not an excuse. My suggestion for future additions is to eliminate the osteoporosis section and leave it to an internal medicine text and include more fracture management in its place--even the management of osteoporotic fractures. Any section in this book should be able to stand alone in terms of being able to render appropriate evaluation and treatment guidelines without having to consult additional texts. The chapter on osteoporosis fails in this regard.
Nothing less than excellence August 6, 2003

I am a Family Practitioner in a rural setting. I have an extensive medical library, however I only have 1 copy of each book...except this one.
I have a copy in both offices and one at home. The ONLY way to improve this book would be to make it free.
And for what it is worth, Dr. Greene is one of the most pleasurable orthopedic surgeons on Earth to speak with. He knows more about the Human anatomy than God, yet NEVER belittles the questions he gets from us rural FP's
