Chapters 1 and 2 open the book by covering the principles of orthopaedic examination, investigations and management. Subsequently, each chapter covers the conditions of a specific  region, describing clinical features, relevant imaging modalities and options for definitive treatment. Throughout, the text is enriched with supportive diagrams and pertinent radiographs.  This book enables rapid access to topics in orthopaedics, which makes it invaluable to medical students as well as junior  doctors working in orthopaedics or the emergency department.
