Fracture Management for Primary Care: 2nd Edition,
By DMK "DMK" (Montana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fracture Management for Primary Care (Paperback)
As a fairly new Nurse Practitioner, I have found this book to be one of my most frequently used resources. It reviews terminology that is needed for communicating with the orthopedic specialists, as well as reviewing the anatomy and physiology of the most common fractures. The radiology pictures/x-rays are excellent for comparison and learning. I would like to see the authors incorporate highlighting or marking the x-ray examples so the novice knows exactly what they are looking at. Not all the samples are clear to the untrained eye. I highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Fracture Management for Primary Care (Paperback)
This has been a very useful reference to manage my patients' fractures as a PA without a supervisor handy. The book is organized so that you can find any fracture type easily. The charts are a quick reference for reXR timing, cast type and length of immobilization. Very well liked by all of us in this ortho practice.

Solid, conservative help,
By D. Center "humblecountrydoc" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Fracture Management for Primary Care (Paperback)
I am a family doctor with a number of years in a semi-rural practice and more than my share of ER time. Fracture Management is a good, solid, conservative reference for it's intended audience. It will certainly keep you out of trouble. Due to it's brevity, there are a number of conditions that are missing, mostly less common problems, but sometimes the book does not cover the particular variant of the fracture you are seeing. Dislocations are largely not included. The photographs of x-rays are helpful when they are present, and I often show the patient the picture in the book as it often illustrates their fracture better than our sometimes crummy x-ray. Unfortunately, not all the photos clearly demonstrate what they aim to.For a more comprehensive, and much larger, text on fractures, with some additional attention to mechanisms of injury and very helpful sketches, I recommend Connolly's Fractures and Dislocations: Closed Management. Though it is getting pretty old in its current edition, the basics of how people get hurt and how to manage them non-operatively, haven't changed all that much. For a more broad based text on orthopedic care, with only brief attention to fractures, it's hard to go wrong with Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful

excellent organization, concise yet complete,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fracture Management for Primary Care (Paperback)
I bought it at a sports medicine conference where all the major publishers had similar titles, and this was was the best. This one has a great "break"down of what you need to know, to refer, to treat, to watch for. Best bang for your buck especially if you have another text to complement it.

Awesome Book!,

This review is from: Fracture Management for Primary Care (Paperback)
Again, this is an essential book, especially for the Family Practitioner just starting out. I have just graduated residency and am working alone at an Urgent Care Center, and I use this book almost every shift! Gives good, clear advice for managing the most common fractures encountered, and when (and more importantly, how quickly) to refer to ortho! Love It, worth every penny!
