From the reviews:

"This book is conceived as a student’s course : it yields a schematic approach to all the facets of skeletal trauma. Pearls and tips draw the attention to useful details. … The index includes 18 pages : this means that information can be immediately found in case of emergency. Last but not least : this book is an ideal preparation to board exams." (M. Hoogmartens, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 72 (4), 2006)

"This slightly more than 500-page pocket-size book in outline format introduces the reader to and provides an overview of current concepts in orthopaedic trauma. It will be most widely used by residents in their early years of training … . this book valuable as a quick reference, review, or introduction to fracture care … . This second handbook should be welcomed, since it will act as a stimulus for the evolution and improvement of both books in future editions." (J. Lawrence Marsh, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2007)

"This book aims to give a complete and global view on orthopaedic trauma. As indicated in the title it is written for orthopaedic residents but it will be also useful for all medical and paramedical people involved in this discipline. It is easy to read. … This book should be the bedside reading of all residents." (Pierre Kehr and Didier Mainard, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Vol. 19, 2009)
