Author Description

A concise textbook of orthopaedics that uses real life situations and clinical presentations to teach analytical skills in the diagnosis and management of common orthopaedic conditions, contextualised for an Asian practice. The book covers commonly encountered conditions and teaches the skills to reach a reasoned differential diagnosis and craft an appropriate management plan. It also discusses consistent physical examination skills including with video demonstrations by eminent faculty. As in the book description above, contributors are from across Singapore. The book deals with commonly encountered clinical orthopaedic situations and diagnoses rather than esoteric and rare conditions. It is therefore a valuable resource for junior doctors and family practitioners as well.
