Medical Lecture Note: Miller: Essential Orthopaedics (Expert Consult Series) with DVD

In this era of publication overload, it is often difficult to determine which medical texts will make the best investments. Essential Orthopaedics, edited by Dr. Mark Miller and colleagues, is an outstanding contribution to the field. It is replete with excellent chapter selection that uses an uncomplicated approach to presenting information. The text is complemented by excellent imaging, graphics, and data tables. Its easy reading style will be a delight to orthopaedists—both junior and senior—and non-orthopaedists alike. The chapters are well referenced to highlight many expert opinions in the field.

The discussions of clinical problems are thought provoking and will serve clinicians well as they ponder the best treatment choices for their patients. This text offers keen insights provided by experienced clinicians.

It is very difficult to coalesce state-of-the-art orthopaedics into a single text because of the range and depth of topics. However, Dr. Miller and his contributors have certainly accomplished this task. My congratulations to Mark and his team for a big job well done!

Book Review

As a longtime sports medicine practitioner, educator, and fellowship director, I am often asked, “What is a good sports medicine book to use for reference?” I usually deflect the answer with a comment that the rapidly changing face of sports medicine does not permit the publication of a good, “current” sports medicine reference. Now, Essential Orthopaedics allows me to offer a quality answer to that very question.

The chapter authors are highly skilled and experienced clinicians who have successfully identified the most relevant details of each injury and condition and have effectively synthesized the data into an easily readable format. A brief review of each chapter reflects the thoroughness and depth of each contribution.

Essential Orthopaedics is a clear, concise, easy-to-consult volume. Excellent line drawings, photographs, and tables enhance the text and emphasize significant details. The outline format offers chapter-by-chapter consistency that simplifies and expedites use. The references at the end of each brief section permit easy access to more detailed information should the reader require a more comprehensive discussion.

Any clinician whose practice involves an active athletic population will find this a very welcome addition to his or her medical library. I congratulate the editors and authors for a most successful sports medicine reference text.
