Recenzje

"Summarises the required knowledge for the FRCS Orthopaedic exam in a bullet point format. ... There are clear 'take-home message' boxes in each chapter highlighting important concepts. The bibliography in each chapter, with references from recent literature and textbooks, is extremely useful. The trauma section is nicely laid out with classifications and management options. ... Passport for the Orthopedic Boards and FRCS Examination would undeniably be extremely useful as a revision tool for the exit exams!" (Syed S. Ahmed, boneandjoint.org.uk, August, 2015)
