“This textbook is clear, concise, and very well written by Dr. Sam Wiesel and colleagues. It is very well suited to benefit all readers with an interest in the medical, surgical field of Orthopaedic Surgery. Ample illustrations accompany the text with helpful conclusions at the end of each chapter hinting at good outcomes for patients.
