Examination of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries Description
“This is by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly text for both professor and student! I am continuing to use it in my Athletic Training Program, and beginning next year, I will institute it into my PT courses in Ortho I & II.” —Vincent J. Hudson, MS, PT, ATC, MBA, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, review of the 2nd Edition.
The 3rd Edition of this popular work has been completely revised and updated to bring you all of the field’s most current knowledge in an even easier-to-use new design. Its superb combination of detailed illustrations and precise language make even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear. Organized by body region, each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries.

If I could give this book zero stars I would. This is ABSOLUTELY the WORST book I have EVER purchased!! So many errors in this text!!! Basic things like getting cardinal planes wrong, contradicting itself from one page to the next, incorrectly describing special tests. For a student who has no ortho background knowledge, you would take this book as the holy grail. But once you realize how often errors are made and on such simple things, it's difficult to take anything as facts. It's organized well and easy to read. That's the only pro, but 20- 30% inaccurate!!

As a student, I like textbooks with critical thinking questions within the chapters, at the end of the chapters, etc. This book doesn't have that.
HOWEVER, what I really, really, really like about this book is the pictures for the palpations. They show paplations for each body part laterally, medially, anteriorly, and posteriorly. I think that's awesome.
I don't plan on getting rid of this book, but I may find something to complement it.
