An Atlas of Orthopedic Surgery: A Guide to Management and Practice by Edward V. Craig, MD

Reviewed by Karen Shudtz, Community Health Education Center Volunteer

Have you ever wondered what an Achilles tendon rupture looks like? How about the meniscus tear in your knee? An Atlas of Orthopedic Surgery is part of The Encyclopedia of Visual Medical Series which shows you exactly what those injuries and many other common disorders look like. The book is really a picture book that includes photographs, illustrations, X-rays and MRIs to give you a better understanding of orthopedic injuries and their treatments. The language is geared to the health care professional but the visuals are suitable for viewing by the lay person.
